Jobs I can do with a pharmacology degree.

15

Hi, so I’m really lost. I’ve just completed my pharmacology degree and I’m not sure what jobs I can get into using it. I’m currently jobless and genuinely scared for my future, Since it’s hard to find Jobs in this field that do not require a master, and I’m currently not interested in doing one.
Any help or possible job roles/ keywords you think I should look into.

There are 600+ jobs that you can do with just your A Levels. Even if you decide not to go into healthcare or life sciences, you are confronted with a wide range of choices. I am not going to list all of them out for practical reasons.

Instead, I would rather ask you the following:

•

What sort of job have you always envisioned yourself doing?

•

What would drive you crazy in a job? What is absolutely mandatory?

•

What are your values and what would the job require in order for you to be OK with the job?

•

What did you wanted to do when you grew up? Think back to the time when you were 5

See the following should you wish to do your research yourself:

sorry for the late reply. Im currently working as a HCA. which isn't rly ideal, and i do not recommend it especially if you want to stick to research.
However, you can learn some really good skills and lessons from it, such as clinical ones, which can look good on your resume and could potentially boost ur application for other healthcare jobs.
However, I would suggest if you'd like to stick to research to maybe try looking at the science training programme, or other trainee laboratory roles.
I haven't found any luck yet tho :')
