Rather than listing potential careers, I think it would be easier to tell you that there are very few career paths you will not be able to follow with a biology degree from a good university.

because I enjoy it! but I don't want to do further research in it after graduating or become a teacher :colonhash:

A lot of graduate schemes in many different industries are just looking for a degree of a minimum standard, regardless of what it is in. (to a point, I assume...)
