If you want to major in biology you do not need to take any courses in high school except the normal college prep courses - English, History, four years of math, bio, chem and physics.
Some biology majors try to sneak out of taking chemistry - that's a big mistake because a lot of the real biology jobs require chemistry either to get the introductory level job, or to get promoted, You definitely need to do your chemistry.
And of course, in college you will take 8 or 10 courses in biology.
So, then when you graduate, what can you do? Unfortuantely there are very few jobs for people with a BA or BS in biology, and they mostly pay poorly. Probably your best best would be to start as a high school bio teacher, if you can find a job. If you want to do biology for a career, you really need a PhD and that is going to take a long time (at least 6 years past regular college) and even then there is no guarantee that you will get any job at all. If you are going to major in bio then you have to do it because you have a total passion for biology and just can't imagine yourself doing anything else.
Biology is a lot of fun, but I am glad I had a backup skill!!!!
