Biology is the science of life and of how living things work. Our students choose to major in biology in college because of a fascination with understanding how living things function, but often they have difficulty in identifying a career that uses their foundation in biology despite the variety of biology-based careers available. The purpose of this discussion is to assist biology students and the career counselors who work with them in identifying satisfying careers that build upon their interest and foundation in biology. The categories of career options include research, healthcare, teaching, science writing, administration/management, government, industry, and miscellaneous careers that do not fit into the other categories.
生物学是关于生命以及生物如何运作的科学。我们的学生在大学选择生物学专业，是因为他们热衷于了解生物的功能，但尽管有各种各样以生物学为基础的职业可供选择，他们往往难以确定一份能运用其生物学基础的职业。本次讨论的目的是帮助生物学专业的学生以及与他们合作的职业顾问，确定能基于他们对生物学的兴趣和基础的、令人满意的职业。职业选择的类别包括研究、医疗保健、教学、科学写作、行政/管理、政府、行业，以及不属于其他类别的各类职业。
