nothing-will just a B.S. Now a days if you want to do anything in the field of sciency you will need at least a master's degree-but you have to get your bachelor's first. There are many areas of biology, ecology, microbiology, molecular biology ect. that you could pursue work in after grad school.

Really, he's going to need further education to do something. Right now, he's qualified to be a lab tech. He'd need more schooling to do any of these things:
Pharmacy technician
Science teacher (high school biology teacher?)
Medical lab worker
