Careers involving Biology

[pinksmartie]

I really enjoy Biology and was thinking about a career in it. I'm in the middle of doing my GCSE examinations at the moment and am definately taking Biology at A level. I was wondering if anyone has a career involving Biology themselves or knows anyone else with one, and could you give me any information about it? I know that it's a broad subject, and I've already began research into careers, but I wanted some information from people first hand? What it's really like, what you'd reccomend etc.
Thanks :)

Are you specialising in a particular Biology e.g. Human and Social Biology, Marine Biology etc. ?

You have a long and successful career part ahead of you because there are many, many jobs in the Biological field. I've majored in Human and Social Biology but sad to say I don't use it in my field of work. All the best to you in your studies. x

Well Human Biology is what interests me most but unfortunately it isn't running at the place where I'm going for A levels.

Not really an expert in this area but, depending on whether you are going to do a degree or not, working in labs / pathology at your local hospital, you can start at a junior level there and do on the job training/college. Police forensics if you are planning on doing a degree or my sister-in-law used to do the testing on food that produced the calorie/fat/sugar contents on food packaging.
