One, the netizen "Coco far": the distribution of my classmates state is:
A large part of the pharmaceutical companies to do sales, this is more money, but also more difficult, and not very suitable for girls to do. The first is that it is not a good idea to have a good time, but it's a good idea to have a good time. After all, when you can get into the biology profession are good grades, some people are too proud, it is not suitable for this.
There are also a large number of people who choose to go to graduate school, both at home and abroad, and then stay in various laboratories to continue to engage in scientific research. The first thing you need to do is to be able to take the pain, and be able to stand the loneliness and failures. At the same time, it is important to find a good school and a boss with a lot of funding for the project.
There are also some civil servants, school teaching, investment banking, science magazines and other professional related jobs, you can also try to find.
Then there are those who change careers and do anything. If you want to change your career, you should do it before it's too late. Generally speaking, the units don't require fresh graduates' majors to be fully compatible with each other. But if you've already gotten into the business in your first job, it's harder to change careers.
The most important thing is to figure out what kind of life you want.
2, netizen "tiantian5514": I am now studying neurobiology, our laboratory so far a **** graduated four PhDs, one of which went abroad to do postdoctoral work, one went to a research institute to engage in scientific research, one went to the hospital to do the test (undergraduate is a clinical medical science), and a do not know! I don't know. Then graduated seven master's degree, one went abroad, two went to a device testing organization (institutions), one before a drug company to do experiments, said before to change jobs, I do not know how it is now, there is another in the drug company is also a researcher class, there is also said to be in the hospital to do general research (undergraduate is also clinical), and one do not know the specific work, but should be have little relevance to the specialty.
In summary, there are basically two main paths for people in our lab: going abroad and becoming a researcher.
PS: By the way, the extension of what, in our that is a normal phenomenon, doctoral, master's degree, the same extension.
Third, the netizen "summer": students biology, employment points undergraduate, master's degree, PhD to the theory:
Biology of small: science and engineering schools of biology undergraduates, do not change the line of work to go to reagent companies, sequencing companies, a better such as Novozymes, the University of China, to go to continue to do the dry experiments or wet experiments; in addition to a few individuals to change the line of work to go to the company, sequencing companies, better such as Novocain, UW, go to continue to do the dry experiments or wet experiments. In addition to the individual oddballs and cowboys, those who change careers are generally sales and marketing. The biology undergraduates from liberal arts schools, such as my college classmates, 80% went to middle schools as biology teachers.
Biology Jr. Shuo: Here you have to break it down by male and female students. One of my senior brothers said, "Biology male masters, you can't support your family without switching careers", so biology men usually switch careers, otherwise it's a pain in the ass. 90% of my male Bio majors changed their careers and went to fund companies, banks, etc. The female Bio majors are less stressed. The female biology masters are less stressed, they can continue to go to high school as teachers, they can go to patent companies, but the ones who go into the R&D department of a company are still very few.
Doctors of Biology. Generally go to colleges and universities from lecturers, low cost-effective, anecdotal evidence is suitable for girls, more vacations; you can also go to continue to go to high school as a teacher, this time you can choose to Tsinghua attached, NPC attached, Peking University attached, North four and so on the bull x high school, treatment than lecturers. There are vacations and connections.
Biological returnees.
Four, the netizen "blue crab": insert a sentence, upstairs said all right, but I think if you talk more organized, can be divided into:
directly related to the work - non-biology professional training can not be qualified for the position
professional related work - Jobs where you need to compete with other majors, but the intellectual content of some of your biology courses adds to the competency
Completely unrelated jobs - Jobs where the courses and training in your biology major are completely unrelated to the job content, and you will need to do more than complete your coursework to be able to compete on an equal footing with other candidates
My personal estimate is that the percentage of jobs in the three categories is about the same as the percentage of jobs for recent bachelor's/master's graduates (including those pursuing further education). Master's graduates (excluding continuing graduate/doctoral students) is roughly 10%, 50%, and 40%. This percentage may fluctuate randomly, there are many factors.
Fifth, the netizen "often hungry": according to their own job-seeking experience, in fact, undergraduates out of the road is quite wide. Biological undergraduate in addition to biological companies, you can consider the food industry, this is also still considered and the line a little bit of edge; FMCG industry sometimes also want to read biological (quality control, production management, and even R & D post, sometimes require a little professional background, some companies will consider biological graduates). As for the change of profession, there are all kinds of things. My classmates do what industry, as long as you can think of all have.
Sixth, the netizen "autumn rain dusk": want to do what do, don't be academic and professional bound. To find their own interests, sink heart to do well. The first thing to do is to eat, and then the pursuit of self-worth.
