Depends on what she wants to work as really...and if she wants to live in Ireland. Most biological scientists I know that are still in science are living in the UK. My primary degree is Molecular Biology...I now work in event management (having given up a science job that die to dreadfully low pay). My classmates include a teacher, an accountant, an optician (she retrained), and a civil servant. The three that are in the UK are an academic, a hospital scientist and a research scientist. Another friend of mine did a biology based PhD, worked in research for 6 months and is now earning a six figure sum in sales.
