There are also opportunities for technical school graduates. Current openings exist for people with varying levels of education and experience, particularly in biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and pharmacology. Future employment opportunities are most promising for individuals with technical, bachelor's and master's degrees in these sciences. Additional vacancies exist for non-scientific, infrastructure positions such as accounting, business development, clerical, engineering, facilities management and legal. CURE studies indicate that, for every new job created in BioScience, 2.6 jobs are added in the general economy in fields such as professional and financial services, and engineering.
