I am studying a degree in Biology and Psychology, what type of jobs will be able to do once i am qualified? |
It is a joint honours degree that I am studying, and I am very interested in working in a medical environment, however I would prefer to gain more qualifications whilst working instead of being in full time education. I would also be interested to know which types jobs I would be able to do without continuing any further education.

With or without your honors you will have a hard time finding a job with ust your bachelors in both biology and psychology. Both fields require advance degrees Masters then Ph.D for you to really make a decent living. I suggest that you continue your education or get an entry level position in a hospital that will pay for you to continue your education. I am an admission counselor and a lot of kids don't realize that a psychology degree just lays the foundation for an advance degree. Good luck...make sure you intern somewhere so it won't be so hard to ind a job...maybe they can hire you. You could maybe study wild ( MAD ) plants. What Sassy Shea said is correct. You cannot attain a graduate-level job in either profession without additional training. If you have a 2:2 then you are going to have to do an MSc.
