You have two main choices -- you can go out and get a job (whether it is in your field of study or not), or you can continue your studies and get a higher-level degree. If you are going to work, you should decide where you want to work. Do you want to stay in your home country, or work in a different country? Where will give you the best options, best pay, etc. Do you want to work for a big company or small company, an office or a lab, big city or rural area, etc? Once you know that, you can start searching around for job opportunities that you are interested in, and submit your resume. If you are going to continue going to school, decide if you want to continue in the same field, or maybe you want to specialize in something (marine biology, etc). Then start looking around for schools that offer degrees in the field. Hope this helps a little!

If you are interested in getting a higher degree, go for it! The higher your degree, the more education you will receive, and the more marketable you will be when applying for jobs. I am currently going for my Bachelors Degree, but after I graduate, I am planning on going to school for my Masters, and hopefully my PhD sometime after that... The US is a pretty good place to get an education -- just make sure you research the school you're thinking about going to, make sure it has the program you want, and that it is ranked well for that program.

well most of my friends from biology, they get jobs mostly at banks, there is too little that go according to the biology education they receive, there is too little job for biology here in Indonesia. Like me, I stuck here in myLot while searching for jobs that really fit me, I want my education doesn't go wasted on other jobs like salesman or some other thing.

You have many choices. First of all you can adopt teaching line. After doing some specific degrees you can be pharmacist, child-care helper in play schools, nurse etc. You can continue your studies in microbiology, pathology etc.For greater level you can be a doctor but for that you will have to continue your studies for a long time.

I think that the obvious choice would be for you to take up a medical degree. Biology is probably the next best pre-Medicine course, next to nursing. Of course, Medical School is very expensive, so i think it would work better for you if you found a job first. But, it's all up to you. I'm just sharing my thoughts here.
