Expanding reading: Is biology major good for employment?
The impression that "biology major is not good for employment" may come from the fact that it is difficult for domestic biology "counterparts" to find jobs and the employment scope is narrow. If you want to enter universities or scientific research institutions to engage in scientific research, you need to finish your Ph.D. If undergraduates choose direct employment, they are likely to go to pharmaceutical companies or change careers. At present, the downstream industries driven by life sciences in China are limited, but there is also a good trend.
Some young people think that when they graduate to work in an enterprise company, they think that they are hurting people. In fact, many famous multinational and domestic biomedical enterprises such as Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing need excellent biological talents. In the future, enterprises will be the main body of innovation, where young people can display their talents.
There are many fields in biology, and there are differences among them. For example, bioinformatics and biostatistics have good employment prospects. These two fields intersect with information science and statistics. Students majoring in biology can also consider more contact with interdisciplinary knowledge fields.
