I see. Idk I just looked up these degrees online and people’s personal experience with getting jobs and most people make it out as if it’s very difficult to get a good job with many of these degrees. You’d have to add on a lot of other qualifications or minor in something else to have more wiggle room from what I was seeing. But if choosing any if these degrees can get me where I want then I suppose it’s not as big of a deal. I guess I just need to decide what major and then focus on labs/certain courses available
If I am understanding you correctly, you will likely need more education to do what you want to do.

These folks deal with everything related to viruses, and parasites and the spread of disease from a public health POV…which is very important.

Are the degrees you’ve listed at a school nearby or one that you’ve been accepted?
