Hello,

This is such a broad question and it depends on your interest, hard work and filed of engagement in Biology. l put forth a wide range of options with the notion "sky is the limit" in terms of interesting things one can aspire to do being a Biologist.

1) You can win a Noble Prize!

2) You can solve many unsolved puzzles of life (just for example, why we don't grow a new organ when it gets damaged as it was, where as a house-lizard can regenerate its tail to its previous state)

3) you can work on long experiments to get a cure for disease (like now some cancers are curable!)

4) you can really discipline your life, way of thinking, logic. For example, once you try to find how to make an artificial pancreas that can be used to treat Diabetes, you need to read a lot of articles as what has been done so far, why people have failed, what are the options currently available, what can you do in a different way, how can you divide your work by collaborating with other people who are in this filed.

So you learn lots of technical skill as well as soft skills like team work, leadership, analytical ability. These skill sets will help you in all forms of life

5) If you have an innovative idea/ product out of your research, you can start your own business/ company and this will open an endless horizon.

6) Based on your interest and qualification (If you do Masters, PhD), you can work either in academia or industry. In academia, you teach, train and work as biologist. In Industry, your work is more focused on targetted research, product development and developing a business acumen.

7) There are lots of diverse career options, those can be derived from the filed of biology like Project mangemnet, Science writing etc.

8) You also need "biology" back ground to become a medical doctor and thats a huge domain in itself

9) You can work with many animal models: like you can create a rat/ mouse that have similar disease like humans (like Diabetes, Eating problem, heart disease) and try to check which methods or drugs can work on them. Then one can extrapolate these options for humans.

10) You can work and take inspiration from all portions of nature like plants, animals, natural events.

Like for example, the cobwebs spider make are stronger than steel with the same dimension. So scientists are trying to use such material in surgery as stitching wounds& quot as for example.

11) These days, biology is becoming more interdisciplinary i.e. you as a biologist tend to work with many other professions like engineers, computer scientists, medical doctors and so on. So this gives a chance to know other specialized fields and learn their skills to implement in your own domain.

If you know the filed of biology you may choose or if you can become more specific with your question, I can provide even more interesting options one can do!

Best of Luck for your adventure!
