[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a ton of underemployed Bio majors, just saying.[/quote]

This pains me greatly b/c a Biology major is NOT a walk-in-the-park!  (no pun intended).  It's hard!  Those Chemistry classes and upper level Biology classes are difficult.  It seems like something that is hard should be more desired in the marketplace.  It worries me a lot b/c my DD is getting a biology degree and has no interest in teaching HS.  I worry about her future.... but at the same time, I am happy she found something she is really passionate about that she wanted to study in college.  Crossing my fingers that it works out in the end.  Ugggh.  Why go through all the torture of Chemistry and upper level Biology classes to end up earning $15/hr!?[/quote]

But your DD knows this.  So encourage her to at least pursue a minor and internships that will help her see other options.  Fine is she's happy with grunt work and low pay, but I agree, for such a difficult majority is painful to see the job options.
