Hi. I am about to graduate from college with 2 degrees. One in Biomedical Sciences and one in Nutrition Science. Now after going through these past 5 years to get these degrees I have just realized that I probably am not going to go into any field with this type of background unless used as a backup plan. But I have always loved computer programming and have been teaching myself for quite sometime now. I am wondering if job opportunities are available even without a degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering.

There are some interesting programs out that there you might be interested in, it is bio-computing. It is modeling and simulations of biology and physiology. There are quiet a few programs around the US that offer this. This might be a way to use your biology schooling and programing. Yeah the last thing you want to hear is maybe some more school but this is a rapidly growing field.

I know the previous poster said virtually the same thing, but Biomedical Sciences coupled with an ability to program is a very valuable combination. I'm not sure how you would go about getting involved, though. If you are interested in more school, there are quite a few schools that emphasize interdisciplinary research where biomedical and computer science would work hand in hand. I know Harvard stresses this type of cross-discipline stuff, but Harvard may not be feasible for most people. If you got involved in something like somewhere, though, it would probably open a lot of doors in both fields.
