I'm still taking my core science courses in the Biology Program, but next year I have to choose between the following concentrations:

Biomedical
Molecular/Cell
Environmental

I'm moving back to Orlando after I graduate with my Bachelor's.

Disney might have some employment fitting your needs via the Animal/Environmental Program for the Animal Kingdom Park.

Actually environmental sciences is a growing field in this area. There are jobs with both public agencies and private companies as diverse as trash haulers and water companies to theme parks and engineering companies.

Have you bothered to search through the various job search sites to see what might be out there for you? A little self help is usually a good place to start before posting questions like this.

Nothing, Biology and Chemistry, are awful careers. Unless, you plan on going into the healthcare. I would not waste my time and money on a useless degree.

indeed.com is the website I use to search for job. I doubt that you can find anything decent in central florida and I have been here about 1.5yr. Job/wage don't equal living standard down here.

I took my biology degree and tacked on a tech writing degree -- at that point, I was able to get on board with quite a few science/medical publishing companies. One of my friends who had just a biology degree now works as an underling in an accounting firm. What you'll need is to figure out what sets you apart from the hundreds of thousands of other biology majors.

From my experience, most people in the biomedical field have engineering degrees.

I agree with Annerk. I'd go with environmental. For example, a few years ago, I looked into city jobs, and I do recall Apopka being in pretty dire need of some environmental research workers. I'm pretty sure your biology background would do VERY well in a field like that.
