Most good jobs require post graduate education. You could work in a lab as a research assistant.
Here are a variety of choices:

Ok, so I have a degree in biology. I graduated almost a year ago and here is what I have found out from experience:

My 3 best friends from high school, and myself all have went to school for biology. Of the 4 of us only one went strait to med school (sort of, pediatry). One works for a commodities broker, however he has yet to sell anything in his year there. Another talks about working as a drug rep. I am still trying to find something. Finding a job with just biology is quite difficult. You may be able to find some work in a research lab, but many labs now want you to have a degree in medical technology. Working for a zoo or museum is difficult to find because they are very highly desired jobs. The easiest job to get would be pharm sales. Almost every career in biology requires graduate school these days. Basically if you take time off its a good chance you will be waiting tables or working in retail.

You could most likely qualify for a job in Research, either on the environment,or in labratories,involving the study of plants and/or animals. You might even be able to get a job in a medical center, or walk-in clinic setting,which could also help,get one foot in the door,as they say, to do and be what you really want to.I hoped this helped! Bye.
