Hlauburn:

So she was able to find a related job once she graduated?

Yes. She works for a biotech company. Her salary and benefits are better than I had expected. The actual work that she is doing is pretty much what she wants to do, at least for now. This includes quite a bit of lab work, and a variety of types of lab work.

What I had heard about students with just a bachelor’s degree in biology had been somewhat bleaker than what we observed. I have wondered about this.

The only explanation that I can come up with is that she likes lab work, has done a lot of it, and had very good grades, very good references, and good internship experience. In comparison I have wondered if premed students who do not make it to medical school have more clinical experience and less lab experience.

I do not think that I fully understand this.
