Obtaining a bachelors in biology. Am I wasting my time?

I'm hearing a lot lately that bio majors who've achieved a bachelors can do little with their degree once they've graduated college. It's concerning me because I've decided to seek a bachelors in biology and specialize in forensics. I'm still a freshman in college, so I'm opened to steer which ever way is more convenient.








Is it true that those who major in this science will have little to do once they graduate?





Thanks for the answers in advance :D



Just for bachelors degree alone will be difficult to find a job these days.





You are NOT wasting your time, but now days job requires you to have at least masters for a decent job.





So, if you are staying in Biology field, stay in school, and pursue masters.




It depends on what job you want..I know a lot of bio degrees get lab tech type work. It's a really good degree if you want to pursue higher education in the future, like nutrition, kinetics, medicine etc. If there is something that is more of interest to you, I'd say go for that but a bio degree isn't a waste :op




Our daughter took a B.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Genetics, from there she took a Masters in Biotechnology. She is currently working as a Product Manager in an international pharmaceutical company, working with HIV meds.





Stay in school, keep researching jobs, the one you will be doing once you are out of school hasn't even been created yet.





See if you can connect with someone that is in the field you want to go into and job shadow them for a few days or weeks.
