<p>DTBTSE when did you graduate?</p>
<p>I also graduated with a biology degree but now am in school for an allied health job and am retaking calculus and then will apply to med school (Including osteopathic). It’s not over just because you had an average GPA the first time around.</p>
<p>Plenty of allied health jobs in Physical Therapy, Occupational therapy, clinical laboratory science, nursing, physician assistant studies, dentistry etc. You should have all but maybe one prerequisite for each. Therefore transferring into one of these programs is much much easier for a bio/biochem major than a humanities major that only took one science class. You can always live with your parents an extra year or three and repay your loans if you major in a high demand health field. The concept of going to college at 18, graduating at 22 with an awesome job with benefits isn’t applicable in many cases to our generation.</p>
<p>There did actually use to be a relative boom in biology/chemistry back when pharmaceutical companies weren’t run by short-sighted wall street thugs that outsource all their R&D and put all their other staff as contractors for low wages with no benefits. If you already have a bio degree either go into healthcare, or try to pick up some accounting classes and go for your CPA–don’t even think you need a full accounting degree for this, just 30 credits of accounting and passing the tests.</p>
<p>I do agree however that there needs to be transparent data at each college about job titles, salaries, and graduate school endeavors by university alumni of different majors 2, 5, and 10 years out of university so people can accurately decide how much debt each degree is worth etc. If McDonald’s needs to report its dietary data for french fries lest they be sued, how the h*** do colleges get away charging 40k a year and not giving this data. Can you say lobbying and government backed loans?</p>
