Hi, I'm a fresh grad from Biomedical Science degree.

As we all know, the main job field for biomed science will either be in lab or product specialist field. And I get to knew that working in lab is really a tough job with very looooong working hours but low pay which somehow difficult to survive nowadays due to high living expenses and returning of PTPTN etc..

So would like to try out something else... can I go into the bank/finance field? If yes, what position I can apply for?

And in insurance field, is it biomed science grad can apply to become underwriter?

Hope i can get more informations and suggestions for u guys, thanks.

I jumped from Biomed Diploma to Business Degree due to unbearable condition i had during internship in a hospital in my final semester 10 years ago. Today i work in corporate level in one of famous banks in Malaysia. I would say work is work whenever you go, the struggle is there but as long as you determine to follow and fulfill your passion, nothing come as obstacles.

True~ I have that "old thinking" last time and thought if I studied science stream in STPM and would like to continue in the same field as well in degree. But during my last semester of study, I started to worried about my future as like what u said, science background actually doesn't have really clear career advancement..

May I know what field u are in now?

Yea... haha XD sometimes i even think that those without degree can even earn more than us o.O

Quite true there is no clear path on where to go in next 20 years. No kidding, even my friend with diploma earn more than me. This can easily compare to a lecturer with Master earn less than a degree in marketing person. My advise is to switch as soon as possible because time wait for nobody.

ps: I came from Biomed diploma, moved to Business degree and currently working. If you ask me what i wanna do now, i wish i couldve took Architecture degree....but its kindda too late for that now.
