Bio major career prospects
by: HonestJust wondering, what are other non-geed bio majors pursuing as a career? I’m starting to think that medical school might not be worth the time and effort only to still be thousands of dollars in debt in my 30’s

I'm not a bio major, but my one of my high school best friends is (at a different university). He is pairing it with chem and is considering going into pharmaceutical research or other lab research development type careers. Probably going to require more school though, so not sure if that answers your question. Or if you have taken a broad range of sciences, you might be able to go into nanotech?

There’s a good amount of bio stats classes you could look into. Would make your bio degree more well rounded and marketable.

have you taken multivariable calc and probability? if you have, you can already dive into biostats and data science projects and classes right now

if you are frosh/soph, ambitious and willing to spend an additional year or 2, you can take some physics, math and CS classes and try to transfer into Bioengineering at CoE... it will open a lot more doors and your story will look really great for grad schools or employers

I heard that you pretty much need a PhD for bioengineering jobs because of how new the field is

kind of but getting master's in bioengineering (and doing decently well) is really attractive for management consulting firms or product management role in software or hardware companies

Just make sure you do the university-wide business minor. Chances are you'll end up in consulting or some type of advisory role, in which you'll need to have some level of business acumen. Graduating from Cornell, your major won't be a huge factor when applying to jobs, unlike lesser schools where they won't consider you if you don't have the right major. IK plenty of english and bio majors here that went into IB without really any issues, but the key was that they had minors in business, econ, cs etc... (any of the business/ applied stem fields).
