Careers Career opportunities include preparation for graduate work in biology and related fields, for industrial research, for government research, for careers in public health, and in the many health-related fields. A steady demand exists for environmental scientists, such as wildlife biologists, fishery biologists, water analysis technicians, air pollution control monitors, environmental health technicians, and interpretative naturalists. Many graduates are employed in these areas by private industry and by state and federal agencies. Some graduates further their education and teach and do research at a college or university.
