Help me help my daughter who's just graduated with a BS in Biology.

Post date: 2022-08-08 05:19:43

The title is pretty much the question. My daughter is 26 (this month), just graduated with a BS in Biology. What now? Looking for suggestions on what fields might want the degree and also things like making a decent resume with not much to put on it and generally anything that might help someone just getting started in adult life.

Bonus info:

Her grades weren't especially great and she's burnt out on school right now. The original biology plan was to become a vet as she likes animals. The vet plan came after a misguided attempt at something she wasn't really interested in that resulted in 2.5 years of college that ended in a do-over.

She's worked at Mom's dry cleaner running the front desk (cashier) but that's her only work experience.

Her parents (Hi!) are well enough off that she's got a place to live and all that but Mom has already gone-off about employment once (and it's been less than a month). Mom is Korean with the Asian mom thing that puts a lot of pressure on kids. Daughter is a female clone of me, so introverted, brainy, but not in a useful way, and kind of passive in her approach to life. She's responsible and takes care of things but she doesn't really know what she wants and I was in the same boat and kind of never got out of it so I'm not sure how to help.

I'm open to advice and suggestions for her and for me on how to help her.

I found this (from 2007) and a few other things but I thought I'd get the 2022 update.

Thank you
