So after a B.Sc in Cell biology

In summary, the conversation discusses the suitable jobs for someone with a B.Sc in cell microbiology in a hospital setting. It is mentioned that while there are options such as doctor and pharmacist, further studies may be needed and there may be limited patient contact. It is suggested that there may be more interesting job opportunities in the industry.

Hey guys,

I am trying to find what type of hospital jobs are suitable for a person who will have a B.Sc in cell microbiology. There are jobs (some have been stated many times in this forum) such as doctor, pharmacist, etc, but are there more? I know that a B.Sc will not get me much in a hospital setting and upgrading/ further studies will be needed. I've tried google, but the results end up to be research type jobs...
Thanks

With your degree in microbiology, I'd agree with Andy that your closest fit would be as a technician in the pathology department, spending a lot of time culturing bugs for diagnosis.

If you're willing to work outside of a hospital setting, you might be able to find more interesting jobs in industry. Microbiology isn't an area that's going to give you any reasons to have patient contact in a hospital, if that's why you're interested in that environment.
