Answer
Hi Srishti:  Thanks for your question.   I don't know what your educational achievements mean, in the US we use a different system.

As for careers in biology there are many.

First, look at what you like to do best.  Animals or plants?  Environmental work, exotic animals (zoos), lab work, research in biology, teaching?  How about medicine, marine biology.  The list is endless.

If you can narrow down your interests somewhat, I can help you more.

Here are some websites that may help:

I hope this answer has helped you.  Please write back if you have more questions.
