OK, so you like science, maybe even LOVE biology and know you want to transfer to a university as a Biology Major and complete your bachelor's degree. What's next? What does it mean to "be a scientist"? What other job titles or career options are there? How much money do they make?

In general for Biology majors, there are three major career pathways to typically enter. One is a medical practitioner such as a doctor (vet, pharmacist, etc) where a "professional school" is required after completing a bachelor's degree. One is a career in research science, where typically you work at a university as a professor (and also teach), at a private company in 研究 and Development (drug discovery at a pharmaceutical company), or work for a government agency (the CDC for example as an epidemic investigator). With a bachelor's degree in these areas, you would work as a technician (doing bench or field work). With a master's degree, you will be more involved in the experimental design, but you won't be running a lab where you are in control of the direction of the projects unless you have a Ph. D. The third career pathway is K-12/community college teacher. A teaching credential or master's degree are required for these jobs, respectively.
关于这些选项的大量有用信息在Grossmont的转乘中心页面上可以找到吗在进行职前培训咨询. Scroll all the way down to find documents relevant to various professions and further information on what "graduate school" is all about. Make sure to check the "chart" of recommended courses for pre-med and pre-pharmacy preparation. Also check out the schedule for工作坊及活动尤其是到了申请转校的时候。
If you are a biology, chemistry or biochemistry major because you plan to go to medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary or other professional school (physician's assistant, etc) the information available from the Transfer Center is especially important. Sue McPhatter is the "pre-med" advisor and you should schedule an appointment with her to review your educational plan.
In preparation for applying to graduate school and/or getting a job after you complete your bachelor's degree, you need to start accumulating工作经验（在任何领域），领导经验，如果可能的话研究经验. If you have never had a job before, volunteer work is also valuable. Become a tutor or teacher's assistant here at Grossmont as soon as possible if you have no 工作经验 at all. Leadership experience can be in any area--club officer, coach for your little sister's soccer team, organizing other volunteers for Surfrider, etc. You can get 研究经验 once you transfer to the university by volunteering (or possibly getting a paid job) in the lab of one of your professors. You can also apply for summer 研究经验 fellowships, or work on a project on campus if any are available. Ask your Grossmont professors what you can do and check out the实习和工作链接到程序的页面。
最后，您将需要推荐信. Cultivate relationships with your professors so that when the time comes, they know who you are. Go to their office hours, ask to be their TA or helper, join the Science Club, volunteer at an on-campus event, whatever opportunities present themselves.
