(Occupation-related) Regarding the major change of biology (master's degree), I would like to ask if there is any industry that needs a master's degree in biology.

1. Resignation during undergraduate period or graduation period.

In their sophomore or junior years, some people jumped to other majors. Generally speaking, economics, business administration, and electronic related projects are in the majority. Their undergraduate degrees are not biology majors, and their development has little to do with biology.

At the undergraduate graduation stage, 985 colleges and universities, you know, most of them apply for graduate students. The situation in our year was that most people stayed in biology or biology-related industries for graduate studies (including basic medicine, chemistry and other majors), and a few people took postgraduate examinations in management, finance, electronics and other majors. I applied for a doctorate in management myself, and I haven't graduated yet. Students with a master's degree in finance are now working in banks or high-end civil servants, while those who have studied electronics have entered military enterprises after graduation.

There are also some students who work directly and do everything after graduation. In fact, according to my job-hunting experience, as long as I graduate from 985 colleges, I will be restricted by my major, but as long as I work hard, it is not a problem to find a decent job. My classmates who used to do real estate in our class have now paid off all of us.

In short, during this period, most people studied in this major with peace of mind, and those who jumped out developed according to their own path.

2. Resignation during master's graduation.

2-3 years after graduation, students with master's degrees graduated, and a large number of biological masters left the campus (the proportion of continuing to study for doctors is not high) and entered all walks of life. Environmental protection, medicine and other related industries are relatively common. Many of them went to the Big Four to do audits, and some of them went home to inherit their family business. There are very few people who are really related to their major, which is also determined by the nature of biology.

3. The way out during doctoral graduation

During my exchange in the United States, I visited some old classmates who studied PhD in the United States, and domestic doctoral students also exchanged frequently, so I knew something about this period. Generally speaking, studying abroad is better than studying at home.

Because the American industry is mature, pharmaceutical or biological preparation companies have research and development needs, so doctors who are engaged in research in these directions can go to such enterprises to be scientists (this is actually the employment choice of many doctoral students in North America). Another advantage of mature industries is that consulting or investment companies that focus on this industry also have a great demand for doctoral recruitment. For example, in investment companies that focus on medicine, a considerable number of people who audit projects and do research are doctors in pharmacy. One of my classmates embarked on the road of consulting after graduation.

Domestic doctors are under great pressure to compete with overseas doctors for limited teaching positions. In order to gain overseas experience, some local doctors have to go overseas for postdoctoral research. I haven't made specific statistics on how many people stayed in the academic research field, but according to incomplete statistics, among the more than 0/00 people in this session/kloc, 20-30 people stayed in the academic circle of biology after graduation.
