Please CD's:
Can you guys advice me on some good career options (further education) after completing Bachelor of Science (life sciences).
This was for my daughter she is completing this year at UBC, Vancouver and is confused on what route to take.
She was interested in a health field. Medicine is out, as her grades are in the 70% range (GPA 3.0). Low for medicine in Canada.
Hoping to hear from you guys, Thanks

Hi Tourist,

What are her interests? Many people with Bachelor of Science degrees end up in various occupations:

Pharmacist
Veterinarian
Dentist
Occupational Rehabilitation
Physical Rehabilitation
Nursing (Bachelor of Nursing level)
Law
Actuary (Statistics)
Meterologist
Optometrist
Chiropractor
Dietician/Nutritionist
A Therapist/Assessment professional
Science Teacher
Computer Science
Library & Information Sciences.

This is just a preliminary list. check this out:

this website is specific to the BC economy. Let me know if you want further information about any of the above occupations. I'll try to get some more resources. You can also ask your daughter to speak to a career counsellor at the UBC Student advising office.

She has many options!

Bio-Medical Informatics has very good career prospects. This field combines biology, computer science and informatics(Library Science).

These sub-fields are particularly good: Genomics, Protonomics, Bio-Databases, Genome Sequencing and Analysis etc.
