I’m currently a biology major with an associate’s degree in Biology and am working toward my bachelor’s. Unfortunately, I don’t yet have hands-on lab or research experience, which has made it difficult to secure internships so far.
My goal is to gain real, practical experience in a laboratory or research setting; ideally by working in an entry-level role, shadowing professionals, or assisting with research projects.
Because my school funding is limited at the moment, my bachelor’s degree may take longer to complete, so I’m trying to be proactive about building experience outside of coursework.
I’m looking for guidance on what kinds of entry-level jobs, roles, or pathways would be realistic starting points for someone in my position. I’m genuinely passionate about biology, but I just need direction on how to get my foot in the door.
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! #animals source
