What career would a Bachelor in Biological Science get me?
I'm thinking about studying Biol Sciences, what career paths would this take me down? Is Zoology one of them? What level of study would I need to land a successful career? Bachelors, masters, PhD, etc?
Thanks for any help you can give on the topic =)

As someone with a doctorate in Biological Science I would say you need to consider very carefully a career in Science. Yes it is great life but money is often in the form of grants etc and you need to publish and be seen to keep those funds coming in.
As someone else has said become a teacher, this gives you many avenues to try without becoming trapped in a dead end which for many scientists is where they finish up. Too qualified to do much outside of the chosen field, and if you know a lot about ants for example job opportunities become very limited.
Zoology is a good science to get into, as it gives you many choices after you get your degree, working in research, Advanced Keeper in a Zoo (you have much knowledge) environmental assessments for the species under examination etc etc. However be aware that as you progress up the academic ladder you will become ever more focused on one aspect and that as I said can lead you into a dead end.

It depends. You can either concentrate on Research or Teaching or both. I've seen most professor doing both. Well that's after you earned Master's or PhD.
If you only have BS, it will be very tough to get a job these days. If you plan to go grad school after BS, be prepared for GRE and spend more and more and more money.
Good luck to you.
