The rest (jobs, money, etc.) will come if you do what you really want/enjoy to do. Don't make it one more materialistic question, it's about what you'll be doing for a living for the rest of your life. Better choose something you enjoy. You enjoy Biology? Go for it. No CS person enjoys the money if they don't like what they're spending their time on. eleni "Marie B" wrote in message news:4a8edd7c.0106221631.385829bc@posting.google.com... > hi, > I am going to start university soon enough and I would like to get > some information ... probably only grad students could answer. > > What are the employement availabilties for newly graduating biology > students (bachelor level)?
