What can I do with a bachelors in molecular biology and moderate computer work experience?

I used to repair computers for nine years and have vo-tech training in electronics repair.



In a year, I will be graduating with a B.S. in molecular biology.



In addition to my degree I have taken two college level programming courses for computer science majors, calculus I through IV, digital logic and digital signals and filtering.



I can program up to mid level programs in Java, but I am far from being a whiz.



What careers are open to me? I am not looking into grad school until later, I just need a job first.



What can I do with a bachelors in molecular biology and moderate computer work experience?free anti virus



You would be very useful as a lab tech at any company or university that does computer models of biological systems.

In my opinion *this is what i did* since you have the education in the area, find a company that you are interested in. and ask about an internship. Since you might not have the education required (i.e. bioinformatics specific degree) you may be able to work for free for an extended period of time and gather training in the area. Then you can either A. Work for that company or B. Add the internship to your resume and you'll have the work experience *which carries heavy weight*
