<p>It seems to be like a bachelors degree in any scientific field is practically worthless. Most people are shooting for med school.</p>
<p>I’d like to possibly major in neuroscience, but the idea of going to medical school afterward intimidates me. I’d like to get a job straight out of an undergrad school, and it seems unlikely that a simply BS degree will get me that. What do you think?</p>
<p>That’s th complete ***** of it unfortunately :-/</p>
<p>I suggest pursuing research in a lab at your college or university while still an undergraduate. If you have lab experience you will be immediately qualified for research technician positions in academia, biotech or pharma.</p>
<p>An MD degree is required for clinical positions.
A PhD degree is required if you wish to lead a research team instead of just being a technician or a part of the research team. A MD does not give you an advantage for this latter career choice.</p>
<p>Probably the best you could hope for with a BS in neuroscience is a position in a research hospital (such as a university-affiliated hospital), but you may not find the work terribly satisfying. BS-level jobs in any science tend to be entry-level and routine.</p>
<p>Forensic science is one area where a BS science degree can lead to something more challenging, but even there, they need people to do blood and urine analyses all day every day, and analyzing **** from drug addicts for eight hours a day isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. Forensic science jobs are also going increasingly to forensic science majors and to people with graduate degrees, because part of the job does require testifying in court, and Dr. Theresistance sounds more authoritative to a jury than simply theresistance who has a college degree from Central State U.</p>
<p>But a BS degree in science is an excellent basis for any number of advanced degrees, including business, law, medicine, vet school, pharmacy, or a PhD.</p>
<p>If you want to get a job straight out of college, are you interested in majoring in engineering?</p>
<p>a BS in any biologically oriented major together with undergrad research experience is the typical qualifications for anyone entering the biotech, academic or big pharma world as a research technician</p>
<p>My sister has a BS in neuroscience and she doesn’t even use her degree now. She’s planning on going back to school for something else.</p>
<p>I’m not very interested in engineering, although I know they’re high in demand straight out of college. I really don’t think I’m intelligent enough for it, nor do I have the passion. Neuroscience is something I’m really interested in, so I’m willing to put in the effort to major in it. I’m just afraid of graduating college with that degree and not being able to find a job, because then all my efforts have been in vain.</p>
<p>I have to add that I don’t think my sister ever tried to use her neuroscience degree though. She already had a very well paying job that didn’t utilize her degree. I think she’s just going back to school now for something different because she’s bored.</p>
<p>^what job was that? What Uni did she atteend? What is she going to major in now?</p>
