Congratulations. Try to get involved in as many real world projects as you can through your school. A degree shows human resources at most companies that you are willing to stick with something, but real world experience always trumps it. Just don't do what I did and spend 8 years in school, only to work in a completely unrelated field. Always back a degree with passion and realism, or you're throwing away money.

ahh. My friend Myron has an undergrad degree in just straight biology I believe but he has worked with habitat for humanity and now - he is in NOLA working for an environmental re-building type company (I can NOT think of the word for the life of me. basically they are rebuilding New Orleans "Green" - he's had several magazine articles written about him adn he's doing really great [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I am so happy for him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
My bachelors is in general biology = Not helpful! think i'm going to get my masters in Wildlife and Fisheries Management. That, at least, is specific enough that it's easy to get a job. Easier. | ||

My experience with Bachelor degrees has been from both a job seeker: it lets you tick a box on an application you couldn't otherwise, and from a perspective employer: it tells me you can be trained.
In both cases, it was easy to group degrees (fairly or not): BA (you can probably write, but you might not have the tools to back up what you're saying), BS (you can probably do math, but you might not have the tools to articulate what you're doing) and pre-professionals are very goal oriented. Graduate level degrees are different, and lead themselves to more general stereotypes (again, unfairly or not) - liberal and social and soft sciences tend to be polarizing voices, hard sciences tend to be uncompromising and engineers tend towards the pragmatic. | ||
