what careers will a degree in human biology get me?

1

I have applied for medicine but still dunno if i'l gonna get an offer from leicester until end of april.
I have a back up plan to do "Human Biology and Anatomy" at Liverpool uni but what career would I have after this degree?
I know one thing for certain is that I do not want to end up in a lab doing research all day as that would in my opinion be very dull.
So will this degree help me get a job elsewhere? for example in the financial industry e.g. bank etc
please reply thanks in advance

I'd say teaching. Most people who do biochemistry and the like end up teaching GCSE and A levels. Research can be brilliant- it just depends what you are researching!

There are literally hundreds of possibilities if you wish to have a career within the biological sciences but outside of that I am not so sure (never looked into it personally).

I wouldn't imagine a human biology degree would particularly make you suitable for a career in banking but then having a degree in any subject puts at any advantage about the average population.

Best bet is to talk to the careers adviser at your school.
