Complete BS, I have a BS in Biology and make six figures. I was able to get a few 50k job right out of college and that was years ago.

To not have a degree will hamstring you at some point, having a STEM degree is crucial.

The real truth is that in this day and age you may have to go where the jobs are or get a masters (I do and the job pays for one).

You have to have a plan though. I’m in Eastern PA, you throw a rock and you can find a bio job in food, beverage or pharma.
