I'm currently a Biology, Wildlife&Conservation Science, and Film major. Should I switch to engineering, computers, or something along those lines?
I'm currently a Biology, Wildlife&Conservation Science, and Film major. I'm mildly regretting not majoring in computer science, engineering, or something along those lines, but I'm already a junior. I'm performing poorly in my classes lately...I'm a smart person, I've just been unmotivated and bored. The Film classes are super fun, but I keep looking back and wished I had done engineering, physics, or something like that. It's something I've been second guessing since I did it, and that can't be a good sign, but I'm at a loss for what to do to figure it out. #computer-science #engineering #science #biology #mechanical-engineering #biotechnology #environmental-science #wildlife-biology

What kind of degree should I get as a biotechnology major?
Masters vs PhD? #biotechnology #medical-research
What are some key courses that would assist me in becoming a bio-chemical engineer/biochemical engineer?
I'm asking this question because i would like to know a little more about the courses to become better in the biology/technology field. #mechanical-engineering #biomedical-engineering #biotechnology #biochemistry
How does it look to future employers if you work in a different field for a while?
I am hoping to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. However, I will likely work in an electrical product engineering position for a non-biomedical company following graduation. How will biomedical companies I apply for in the future see this? Will this experience help me or will they assume I am unfamiliar with biomedical technologies and pass on me? #electrical-engineering #biomed #engineering-industry #engineering #biotechnology #first-job #biomedical-engineering #career-change #career-plan
What jobs in biotechnology can put one in the frontiers of breakthrough research?
I am deeply fascinated by biology and have a passion for research. I want to explore my career options as a high schooler.
Is there a field of study or a career path for combining my love of horses (equine science) and biomedical science without becoming a vet?
I am trying to find a career path that will integrate my two passions: equestrian and biotechnology. I love hands on science lab work and would like to do something with horses. Perhaps involve genetics, IVF, gestation, etc with horses. #medicine #veterinary #biotechnology #genetics #veterinary-technician #equine
What is the job market for marine biologists going to be like in the next 10-20 years?
I'm asking this mainly because I'm interested in a lot of potential majors. I'm a high school senior, and I have really good grades. However, I can't seem to pick out a major because I like the idea of doing so many of them. I've always had exceptional grades in Biology so I was wondering how the career opportunities would look after I graduate college. #biology #marine-biology #biotechnology
What are some relevant careers involving biology or chemistry and what should I major in to enter those careers?
I know I'm interested in a career in biology or chemistry or both, but I don't know what major I should choose to have flexibility in choosing careers in both fields. I want to enter a high-paying career that will not expire in the near future. Or maybe my uncertainty as a junior in high school doesn't matter because I can just switch majors if things don't work out as an undergraduate. #biology #chemistry #biomedical-engineering #chemical-engineering #biotechnology #biochemistry #career-details
Is it better to intern with a professor in a research lab or at a research company?
I'm a high schooler who would like to find an internship in the field of biomedical research, but I don't know if I should be inquiring professors or companies in that field. #biology #internships #research #biomedical-engineering #internship #biomedical #biotechnology

Research Degree
Do all research degrees (MPhil/PhD or combined tracks) require the GRE In the USA? Assuming that I do not take the GRE can I get admitted into the programmes? I am currently in a difficult financial situation, I am already considering not enrolling in universities that require me to re-do my English language exams simply because I would be spending additional money. I have been accepted into programmes in the UK, cGPA 3.2/4, British equivalence 2(i) but I was told it will mostly depend on the universities that I apply to. So far I have been accepted by UCL, Nottingham, Sheffield, Westminers, Glasgow. #career #medicine #biology #university #career-counseling #graduate-school #biotechnology #science-phd
Biotechnology vs Biomedicine vs Bioinformatics
Hello everyone, i'am a non-traditional student and i'am transferring to a for year with an ultimate goal of applying to Medical school. However, I'am having a difficult time choosing a transfer major, at my home institution I've already completed a large majority of science courses from Mircobio to Physics. Since I've completed these courses, its only befitting for me to choose a major that will uptake my current credits. The majors of interest are biotechnology, biomedicine and bioinformatics. Now, although I've researched the hell out of these majors, i still don't know what a typical work day would look like for either profession or if it is a profitable and complementary pathway to my ultimate goals. Someone please help, if you are in any of these fields. Thank you in advance #college-major #biotechnology #bioinformatics #biomedicine #Premed #Medicalschool #college-major
can i pursue two courses at the same time
i am 16 right now and i need to choose my career so as to work for it in my last 2 years of my high school. I really want to pursue two careers and i wont be able to choose between them since i am really interested (sometimes talented too...) in them. so i dont know if i could do b.sc in biotechnology and fashion designing and the same time. (note: i would do my pg too). In biotechnology i am looking for research oriented jobs and for fashion designing my only aim is to be a part of the New York/ Milan/ Paris / London or any other fashion week ( no geographical restrictions) pls could you help me? #career-counseling #research #fashion #biotechnology #fashion-design #student-counseling #future-careers #biotech

How do I break into the sustainable energy field?
As an incoming college freshman, I am interested in pursuing a career in the field of sustainable energy. I don't have a particular focus at the moment because I still have to learn more about my own major (Biotechnology) and the field itself, but I would like to be prepared for the future as early as possible. So, how do I break into the sustainable energy field? What careers are available, and what are their job outlooks? Any personal experiences to provide some insight? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! #college #science #biology #technology #stem #biotechnology #sustainability
What career path should I follow based on the following information?
I'm an 18-year-old freshly out of high school. I'm not really sure about what I should pursue in college. My interests incline towards chemistry, biology, and psychology and I feel like I want to do something in the field of biology. But the thing is, in this field whatever I'm inclining toward seems like it wouldn't really help me with any placements and job opportunities, at least till I complete my master's in the course. Also, the earning also seems pretty low, specifically in India. I did think about going in the direction of med, but the competition seems way too high, and it feels very challenging so I'm not really sure about it. I was thinking about choosing between pharmacy and biotechnology, but in both cases, the placements and the opportunities seem to be lacking in India. What should I do? Note: this question was asked anonymously by a student
Would it be possible to balance med school and reptiles?
I have 2 reptiles as of right now, but I’m not sure if i can keep them and balance med school.
Future Career
My current career goal is to get into Biotechnology, and maybe programming as an alternative. For the biotechnology field, what should I look into to be more prepared?

What does a biotech engineer design other than prosthetics?
I am a Freshman from Waimea High school and I think that it would be really interesting to design prosthetics for patients but I was wondering if Biotech Engineers design anything else.
