I have a feeling this is the dilemma the article's author found as well. There really aren't many decently paying jobs for someone with an undergraduate biology degree - at least not compared to the number of people with said degrees. So, do you double down and get a graduate degree in hopes of increasing your earning potential? I found myself in that same situation, with the same degree, and decided it wasnt worth taking on debt for a graduate degree (nor spending the 2-3 years it would have taken). Problem is, while the potential jobs for someone with an advanced degree are better, there are even less of them, and the competition is tough.
