Biology Majors Career Paths?

A friend of mine is a recent biology major and she is having a difficult time deciding on what she wants to do for the rest of her life (imagine that). She repeatedly asks me for ideas of what I believe she is good at and what a biology major can do with their degree. She likes math, science, planning and interacting with people.

Initially, I thought of the health care field...mostly because I am around it daily. She is not interested in that.

So I started to look for other options for biology majors and came up with some of the following:

Medical Field (various)
Zoology
Environmental Consultant
Food, Fragrance, Personal Care Scientist
Biology or Math Teacher
Chemical/Drug development
Forensic Scientist
Science Journalism
Marine Tourist worker
Human or Animal Behaviorist
Dietitian
Genetic Counselor
Mortician
Statistician
Taxidermist
Brew master
Food and Drug Inspector
Meteorologist

Any ideas of what a biology major could do?
