That’s because business, nursing, engineering, and teaching are ‘vocational’/‘professional’, the name of the job is in the major.
For other majors it takes an indirect path.
The trick is to work on that path starting Sophomore year and on developing skills where the knowledge learned in history, English, biological Anthropology, Environmental science… is used in a professional setting. In addition, complementary skills (quantitative, linguistic, management, Cs/its, etc) can be added.
Biology is in a worse situation than, say English or History, because there are so many of them (hundreds of thousands who didn’t get into med school) and because so many were putting med school related activities they don’t have usejl internships. Prospects for chemistry or physics majors may not be much hotter but there are far fewer them so better odds of standing out. Physics is known to be as hard as engineering and will comm a lot if respect.
