I don't really know what job I want in the future or what I would like to major in. I have really liked all my science classes so far so I think I want to major in some kind of science. I looked up a list of possible majors and cellular and molecular biology sounded interesting to me. Three possible careers with this major are to be a biology professor, a molecular biologist, and a lab technician.
To be a biology teacher you need a bachelors degree but to be a professor you need a graduate degree. Professors generally make $86,200 annually. You have to like kids and like helping people while managing their time very well.
Molecular biologists make about $95,000 annually. For this job you need a masters degree as well as a bachelors, but a doctoral degree is recommended. To have this job you need to be concentrated and not give up, pat attention to detail, and be dedicated to your job.
A lab tech assists molecular and cellular biologists as well as researchers. This doesn't require as much education. You can have a 2 year degree but more advantageous to have a bachelors. They make an average annual salary of $44,600. You have to be good at taking directions and being careful.
As far as science goes, there are so many possibilities in terms of available jobs. Its great that you have some what of a passion for the subject! It will allow you to find a great job and enjoy what you do!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your internship in? Did that influence your decision or vice versa? My internship is with the DA's office. I was very lucky to get it as I would like to major in english and then go on to be an attorney.
