[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are some who are probably in med school -- but it seems every chart I've seen showing the earnings has them at about $34K three years after graduating with a bachelors degree.  That is just so painfully low!  Yes, I have a kid pursuing a biology degree.

What's the career outlook for someone who isn't pursuing med school?  What are all these low-paying jobs?[/quote]

Hi, my DD finished her undergraduate biology degree this past Spring.

She had considered medical school but decided against the additional schooling.

Same for going into the pure science end of it as that requires a PhD and she just didn’t see that in her future.

She went to our state flagship.

She just started at a HR consulting firm for approx. $70k - which is exactly double what her brother, an English major, started at last year.

I am trying to take the approach to let my children choose their own paths while providing guidance and when asked advice.

It is not always easy.

I post this in the spirit of support for you and your DD/DS.[/quote]
