If I don't get into grad school right away, where should I start looking for work with my current degree even though Biology isn't my intended focus.
Hello all, I am a recent graduate with a Biology degree. I would like to put my focus into grad school and possibly pursue a career in PT or Athletic training. Because of my basic GPA(2.9), I feel as if I won't get into the schools that I want. Also, because my school only offered a degree in biology and not exercise science I feel stuck in a way. I would like to start working but I also want to further my education so that I can land my dream job as well but I don't feel as if i'm totally prepared for that field. My only work experience in the field of PT was when I shadowed as a local hospital near my school. Please offer help. #biology #graduate-school #physical-therapy

How might I go about attending a foreign institution?
Over the summer, I spent time with a French family in a foreign exchange program. The mother of the family highly encouraged me to attend a French university or college due to cheaper tuition and housing options, but I wasn't sure where to even begin applying so I pushed it to the back burner. Now that I've applied to several American schools, I was wondering how, if it would even be possible, to keep the door open for transferring to a school in Europe and what advantages this might have. Especially if graduate school is about to become unattainable for the lower/middle class in the United States, would it be possible to complete my undergrad here and then study abroad for a Masters? #university-abroad #college-transfer #graduate-school

I would love to discuss some options with someone who has experience in the field and could give me some more information about what kind of jobs are available. #psychology #graduate-school #psychologist # #business
