I graduated about a year ago with a biology degree. So far I have done a mix of lab and field work, and though I've enjoyed it, I haven't made much money and have struggled finding jobs at times. I'm just trying to figure out if I should stay in this field or transition to something else, how to increase my earning potential if I stay in biology, etc. I'm not particularly good with people and don't really want to work in medicine. I'm good at research, but I don't think I want a PhD. I was thinking of earning a master's and then either being a wildlife biologist for the state or becoming a lab manager or research assistant. With a master's those people do so-so money-wise.
Anyway, I'm just interested in hearing what you guys do and what you think about it, if you're happy, etc.
