What to do with a biochemistry degree?

Hello, I graduated awhile ago and still feel confused on what I should do with me degree or how I can go into another career path? Does anyone have any advice or information that could help me? Thank you

What do you specifically want to do? If you don't intend to go into biology or chemistry, there's still a myriad of jobs that you can do. I could end up writing a novel on this, so I rather cut things down where possible.

I don't intend on going into chemistry. More interested in the biology side. I don't want job that involves having teams and communicating / presenting.

I don't want job that involves having teams and communicating / presenting.
Bad news; any job that you come across would likely involve communication and teamwork on some level. Presenting isn't really necessary unless you go into front end corporate roles and teaching/academia. No person is an island, and you can't get very far without interacting with another human being. Is there a specific reason to why you have a strong reluctance to take on these sort of jobs (other than possibly being an introvert and possibly have social anxiety)?
I also don't know of any role in biology that doesn't involve teamwork or communication of some sort.

Jobs that you can do with any bog standard degree (or none at all as usually it's the case):

If you decide to go back to college (adult college), then you can do courses that are relevant to the following:

You can go into the following areas with specific professional qualifications (irrespective of what previous qualifications you have):

If you want to become a complete hermit and cut everyone off from the rest of the world, then you can try looking to become an artist, composer, or writer, where all the content you come up with is up to you. You might be able to get away with being a programmer, but you would be working on your own projects. Science writing might be something up your street, but it's low pay, long hours, and bad treatment.
UX designer and graphics designer are something in the creative arena, but they involve more client facing interaction than say an artist or composer.

You can google for other websites or use AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Notion; you would need to be specific with the prompts) for further ideas.

For something specific to biology in particular, then you're possibly looking at work in ecology/field biology, biostatician, environmental scientist/inspector. People say vets don't need to communicate as much, but you still need to speak to pet owners; and it's difficult to get into vetinary science as a graduate unless you want to fork out a huge sum to start all over again at bachelor's level (which is competitive as it is).

If you want to consider doing further study in biology, you can with a master's or a PhD. It's uncommon to get far in biology without a postgrad, irrespective of the type of job that you want to apply for. You might have a hard time avoiding group work in research, but it should be possible in most cases. You can also consider lab technician roles in this respect.

Thank you for your suggestions and time! Also I have worked in teams and can communicate, but I meant more like team work, I'd rather work on my own like be left to do that task. (I do have social anxiety and am an introvert lol). Yeah I am interested in lab technician in university.

Oh right, then you want something that's more project based and allows you to be independent? If so, most things in the creative field allows you to do this, and the recommendations still apply.

Consider the following as well:


...but yeah, lab technician. Whatever floats your boat.

would I be able to do Msc in radiography? when I've checked they all require bsc in radiography..
Biostatician sounds really interesting I will look more into this.

Sorry, should have been more specific (I keep forgetting there's 2 types of radiography degrees). Diagnostic Radiography can be done with any bog standard degree or a science undergrad, whereas regular Radiography requires an undergrad in radiography. See the following as examples:
