What would a bachelor's degree in biomedical science be a good qualifier for at the entry level with no experience?
Answers
The degree could land you a job in sales, or as a lab tech in academia, pharma, chemical, industrial, or food and ag. Feel free to set up a time to speak live with me if you desire. My degree is in Biology and I have worked in the laboratory mark for 20 years in Texas and Oregon.
Good Luck!
Also consider healthcare software development. My degree is in Molecular Genetics and I worked in healthcare software for a long time. I'm now in Airline Disaster Recovery, and have also worked in Finance, so don't consider your degree to define the only roles you can apply for! What do you want to do? Confidence counts significantly, not just your degree!
There are entry level careers in this field in many settings like biomedical engineer, conducting research, clinical laboratory technologist, and performing basic medical tests. You can even be a college biology professor or full-time researcher. I would suggest checking open positions at local hospitals-many have entry level research or biomedical technican / biomedical equipment position openings. Also check the American Red Cross as well- they frequently hire for entry level biomedical technician positions.
A degree like yours is often a pre-requisite for sales positions for medical device or pharmaceutical companies. These types of employers want someone with typical sales characteristics (strong communicator, detail-oriented) but they also want to know that if they invest in training you on their products, that you'll have the ability to comprehend the information.
Transition to the bioscience is indeed a nobel cause and I salute you sir. Permit me to suggest you find time to visit the chairperson of your univ or VA IRB research board where that degree would be of value in R&D of advance medical protocols. In fact few are aware of the VA's IRB research board that won three Nobel Prozes in science partnerships with univ researchers.... who knows, you may be the catalyst for a 4th! jim.
