Biology Text Box: A general biology undergraduate degree could prepare you, for example, to work as a botanist, a teacher, a trip leader for outdoor organizations such as the National Outdoor Leadership School, a scientist for a non-profit organization such as a university or environmental society, an educator at an environmental facility, a forest ranger, or an urban planner or researcher. You could join the Peace Corps as well.  Numerous biological science specializations are on the rise, due to concerns ranging from pollution and global warming to animal endangerment and extinction. As communication and transportation advances bring the world's people closer together, the scientific community has expanded its efforts to deal with life threatening diseases. Therefore, many new biology majors study genetics, immunology and endocrinology. As humans live longer and remain physically active through more of their lives, biology majors can help meet the increased demand for qualified researchers.  Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelors' degree.
