For instance, if you want to be a park ranger, most likely you would need an environmental science degree and not one for microbiology.
Decide what type of job is best suited for you. There is such a broad range of jobs for science majors from marine biology to biochemical research in academia or biotech companies to forensic science and even teaching. It is always important to choose what you will enjoy the most to avoid burnout. Use your time in college to decide which track you like the best and focus on finding a job in that field.
Search for an entry level position. A lot of people get out of college immediately thinking they will get a job that pays well at a high level. Unfortunately for most of us, this is not the case.

Only apply to positions that actually fit your level of experience and education in the job descriptions so you don't get in over your head. Check company websites and other job search engines to find these positions. Another great source is scientific journals, although most of those jobs are high level positions.
