How hard would a biological sciences major be?

[russwest0]

Was chilling out the other day talking with some friends and we all came to the conclusion that being a botanist would be gangster as f*ck.

You just plant trees and shit, study plants, grow weed, etc.

Then I realized that I basically only have my gen eds done right now and can still switch my major without much of a hiccup.

But then I thought about classes like chemistry and shit and I don't know, maybe it'd be too hard? Does anyone know anyone who has done this major or has done it themselves?

[navy]

Science classes can get really hard if you arent willing to put in the work.

[russwest0]

Science classes can get really hard if you arent willing to put in the work.

looks like I'm sticking to communication then.

[russwest0]

Imagine if your job was just to go out and take notes on plants in an area.

you got paid for doing easy ass, fun shit like that while getting fresh air.

**** it seems like more work than communication though

[sweggeh]

hella

[Dresta]

Not hard if you've got a good memory, though you will have to put the hours in. It's more difficult to slack in the sciences.

[Milbuck]

Idk, it doesn't sound like it'll be too easy imo, you usually can't cakewalk through science majors. You're probably gonna have to take organic chem, some advanced plant physiology and ecology courses, genetics courses, etc. I'm sure it won't be as grueling as most of the science-based engineering majors where you have to take shit like fluid mechanics, linear algebra/diff eq, etc but it should require a decent amount of work.

[DeuceWallaces]

You would have to find the right program that would allow you to dance around molecular, physiology, chemistry, and genetics. I was able to wiggle my way around most of that, but you'd still need at least 1 out of that bunch.

Lastly, you're describing jobs that hardly exist anymore and usually require a Masters with lots of botany experience.

[Akrazotile]

Doesnt seem like the kinda major that makes sense to take if you dont have a career path in mind that's more specific than just "bottanist seems kinda cool." I dont think "bottanist" is even an actual job.

Also doesnt make sense if youre obsessed with being successful and alpha like OP. Not that it isnt a good path for some, but you dont see too many bottanists driving convertibles and makin it rain in the club.

If you wanna be out in nature and take notes on plants n shit, just do it as a hobby. Leave the mo deeper stuff to the experts like poosewallaces.


Not that OP was serious bout any of this anyway.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

There's critical thinking, theoretical scenario, equation, creative works scattered among the molecular ecology physiology fields.

[outbreak]

If you think all they do is walk around taking notes on a plant then you are an idiot with a childs view on the real world.

[plowking]

I have a great admiration for people who stray from the more mainstream degrees to follow something more in line with their passion. At the same time, it is insanely hard to find a job in that profession, etc, and something I personally could not deal with for the first couple or 5 years of my life. Or in some cases, you never end up being lucky enough to find one.

[J Shuttlesworth]

You should go into journalism. Next Skip Bayless imho

They sound specific, but you have to basically ignore the sub-field. It's a research or field scientist which is a massive industry with opportunities all over the world.

Fair enough.

I have one friend who finished marine biology, with a 5.7 GPA (7pt grade scale), and she hasn't been able to find anything for a while now. It has been over a year and a half now and no luck.
I think with jobs that require research funding and what not, it is always a little harder, due to the fact at one point or another there will be cost cutting and it is impacted heavily by it.

I guess all the "cooler" jobs are like that though.

First, you have to be willing to move around the country if you want stable employment. Nothing crazy but I'm on my 4th state in 7 years and I've been 7-12 hour drive from home since I left.

Second, if you want to work with orcas, bears, sea turtles, large carnivores, etc. you're going to have to do it for free at the start or get lucky/know someone.

[ROCSteady]

About as hard as my dick is right now.











I'm flaccid

[russwest0]

You know I thought about it but then I realized that journalists are just the cancer of society.

no thanks dude.

[LongLiveTheKing]

It's barely my first year and i'm a bio major shit's hard af.

[russwest0]

It's barely my first year and i'm a bio major shit's hard af.

why is it hard?

[T_L_P]

You're either good at science(s) or you're not imo. It's seems like something you're born with. :oldlol:

I got great grades in English, Business, currently studying Law. But science? Hell nah.

Plus, everyone I know who studies science (mostly Bio-Chem) puts in like 50 hours a week.

[Swaggin916]

I have no idea but biology would be one of the easier ones I would think... not as much math involved I wouldn't think. Of course for some people math is easy, but I'm not one of those people. My brain is just not into solving problems that way.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

if you like a challenge and consider yourself smart, go for science. or else stick to business. classes like ochem and calculus based physics would blow your mind.

and botany? wtf. good luck with your employment goals in the future.

[STATUTORY]

biology is easy, it's closer to history than physics

[SupermanOnSteroids]

I'm moving to Seattle after college, and they do tons of environmental shit there, so I'm sure I could find work.

Hell maybe I'd be a marijuana grower or something. I'm sure that business is booming down there.

I'm just thinking before I start taking the core classes of my major if being in communication is really worth it. Which would be easier to get hired in Seattle? Another communication major or a plant biologist?

sounds like you are most interested in horticulture than botany. Also, there are relatively few careers in botany. Most people with botanical training do things like range and plant ecology, native species restoration, etc.

the only people I know employed as marine biologists have PhDs in that field. All the people I know with bachelors in it (about 12 or so) work as field ecologists or some other aspect of NEPA compliance for development.

[LongLiveTheKing]

why is it hard?
Too much studying you have to do, unless you can study for long amounts of time are just naturally smart. It may also depend on the professor you get mine is terrible.

[sweggeh]

russwest0, you seem like a smart guy so I am gonna tell you how it is. Don't waste your time doing something just because you think it is easy. Do something because you like it or you want to do it. Focus your time on something worthwhile. Your time is precious.

[steakish]

I have 1 more semester til I graduate with a Biochemistry degree (full chem degree + 2/3rds of a bio degree). I took:

- 3 semesters of calc
- 2 semesters of physics + 2 labs
- 2 semesters of general chem + lab
- 2 semesters of general bio + lab
- 2 semesters of organic chem + lab
- 2 semesters of genetics + lab
- 3 semesters of biochem + 2 labs
- semester each of cell bio, molecular bio, micro bio, vertebrae neurology, vertebrae physiology, gross anatomy, inorganic chem, physical chem, analytical chem, macromolecular chem and a lab for about half those classes.
- all the core stuff like english, govt, history, foreign language, etc

A lot of studying and I liked my major but you basically only go into the medical field, teaching, or research... Teaching and research tend to require more than a bachelor's as well.

I kinda wish I went into engineering or computer science/programming instead. Way more opportunities than anything in the bio field IMO.

Honestly either take associates at computer science or just learn for yourself. Programming is not that hard to learn if, and with your knowledge of science it should ease you into it. Check out http://tutorialspoint.com and check out the computer programming section. It should teach all you need to know in order to program in your language of preference.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

[QUOTE=steakish]I have 1 more semester til I graduate with a Biochemistry degree (full chem degree + 2/3rds of a bio degree). I took:

- 3 semesters of calc
Get your integrals, derivatives down pronto from KhanAcademy. The exams will stretch you for time.
- 2 semesters of physics + 2 labs
That's Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, and Thermodynamics. Have a very clean thought process coming in, one slip in a formula and all can go to hell.
- 2 semesters of general chem + lab
This is easy stoichiometry sh!t don't worry.
- 2 semesters of general bio + lab
Cultivate your interest in life on the macro and micro level.
- 2 semesters of organic chem + lab
This can psis the f*ck out of you. Prepare to allocate much time for this.
- 2 semesters of genetics + lab
Mendelian's a joke, the other two get into detail. If you understand 5' 3' methyl A guanine cap and the 6 basic enzymes you'll have a powerful foundation to build off of.
- 3 semesters of biochem + 2 labs
The beginning is a joke and things you've heard hundreds of times before. Later though as it progresses your mastery of amino acids, and earlier orgo chem will need to be. Very very very demanding.

- semester each of cell bio (annoying as fukk), molecular bio( annoyin gas fukk), micro bio (annoying as fukk), vertebrae neurology (pretty cool.. but will scare you with its talk of Huntingtons lol), vertebrae physiology (gotta have a steel spine to learn about the spine), gross anatomy (actually involes lots of the higher cognitive processes to master.. i.e. evaluation, comparisons, judgments0 , inorganic chem (CRAZY FUKKING ANNOYING), physical chem (INSANELY FUKKING ANNOYING), analytical chem, macromolecular chem and a lab for about half those classes.
- all the core stuff like english, govt, history, foreign language, etc

That's just the problem with this generation. Everyone wants to do what they like or love and it leaves them unemployed. It's do what you love versus marketing yourself. I'm on the same boat. I can't ****ing sleep right now for the past few hours searching up degrees and shit. I need to declare a major because I graduated with a shit liberal arts degree that helped me in the long run because I can change my sense of direction.

Shit is tough.

yesterday I was getting so anxious thinking about the future, it was scaring me.

I didn't fall asleep. I just laid in bed, with fear about the future and shit man.

****ing the college system blows but I've already invested 2-3 years of my life into it, might as well finish out and invest 2-3 more.

it just sucks to think about my life right now man. 35-40 hour weeks plus 12 hours of college minimum, plus homework.... ill be honest, it wears me out... I get mental fatigue from thinking too much.... working a highly random work schedule plus having constant deadlines with college that I have to keep up with...

And sometimes nights like yesterday happen where I'm freaking the **** out and getting rushed with so many thoughts its so hard to just be optimistic about shit.

I can definitely see why so many college students are depressed man. college does this thing to so many people where it makes them feel like shit.

Sorry man, but your mindset is ass backwards if that's your justification.

Your college degree sticks around with you for the rest of your life. Your current job not so much. Getting a sub 3.0 as a communications major is not getting it done man. 5 years from now no one gives a damn your GPA could have been higher but you were working. 10 years from now you'll have that diploma with your name under it, not a shitty retail job. You'll be much better off in the future if you quit your job or reduced your hours and worked your GPA up.

If you really can't reduce your hours worked and don't want to take out a fat loan and be in massive debt (which is understandable) then you need to reduce your class workload. Take one less class. Maybe you take an extra year, maybe an extra 1.5, it's worth it if you're doing better in school.

Seriously, if you are a communications major you better be getting better grades than a 2.8. That's an acceptable GPA if you are in engineering or perhaps physics or something.

Definitely invest your time off into that site. Sign up for some shit on Coursera. Another good site is http://www.lynda.com/ and check out MITOpenCourseWare or edX.org.

I don't know too much about becoming an Info Security Analyst but I do know a good bit about the tech industry as a whole. Right now, the best things to learn are probably JavaScript (there are tons of different 'flavors'... AngularJS, node.js, just learn as much shit as you can), Python, for web dev you can learn HTML5 or Ruby On Rails. You can't go wrong learning C++ for sure, and on the database side any kind of SQL is incredibly useful (and simple to learn, a good starting point) whether it's MySQL, noSQL, t-SQL (Microsoft SQL), SQLite, etc.

JavaScript, C++, and Python are probably the most 'hot' in industry right now (in that order, with Python and JS having the brightest future IMO) and you can't go wrong learning SQL unless you want nothing to do with the database side of things.

edit: Oh yeah, don't forget Hadoop. Big Data is going to be unbelievably huge and Hadoop has the early lead in cloud computing.

Right now I'm at a 2.8 as a communications major because I work so damn much
then you should drop one of the two. Either become a serious student and limit your work load to something that allows you to focus on your studies or take on a full time job and take a leave from school. Save some money and go back when you are ready to be a serious student.

[boozehound]

also, if you have a 2.8 as a communications major, you should not be considering something like biology/ecology. Hell, you probably cant switch into that major with such a low GPA.

Awesomeeeee, and while we are still on the topic, I was looking at the possible degrees in my school and one of them is an AS in Computer Programming and Analysis (http://www.spcollege.edu/Computer_Web_Programming_and_Analysis_AS_Degree/#tab=3). What do you think about that? Would it put me at a disadvantage when looking for jobs because it isn't a Bachelor degree?

It will BUT if you get a lot of Certificates that are very known Nationally you should be fine. I worked as a student in a bank and they never even ask where I came (College wise) from or what was my GPA. They asked straight up, can you program in ASP.Net and VB.NET?

One of the reason I am currently trying to learn ASP.NET :lol

Finals week is always hectic, filled with a bunch of procrastination and freaking out. But the second you finish your last final....best feeling. You majoring in Programming, right? What really got me excited about programming was learning all the different jobs I could land with that degree + certifications, and the pay is good as sheeiiitt. Ik no major is really easy, but the way I see it, programming is easier than Comp Science or Comp Engineer, while making more or less the same as either of those two majors.

[DeuceWallaces]

Finals week can be a bitch. Happy to be over it for the most part.

yeah, taking 15 hours of college class and working 35 hours a week has nothing to do with me not having a 3.5+ gpa like people who don't have to work at all throughout college.

i did way better in college when I started working a lot of hours. I was forced to manage my time very efficiently. I did very well while working 32 hours every week. I had to be a lot more focused to keep it together. The pressure helped out.

when I was a freshman and didn't have a job and was left to my own devices I didn't do as well.

Finals week is always hectic, filled with a bunch of procrastination and freaking out. But the second you finish your last final....best feeling. You majoring in Programming, right? What really got me excited about programming was learning all the different jobs I could land with that degree + certifications, and the pay is good as sheeiiitt. Ik no major is really easy, but the way I see it, programming is easier than Comp Science or Comp Engineer, while making more or less the same as either of those two majors.

I love doing programming, specially designing stuff of it. To be honest I prefer to design projects than the coding. I like coding but just making that baby on a board or a piece of paper and then coding it and seeing it live it awesome.:rockon:
