arrogant bro,
it would be a good idea to go to the career counsellor at your college, they are the ones who will have a better idea.
there are lot of biostatistician positions open in Pharmas and Biotechs, but they would rather give priority to the one with PhD or would hire someone with a degree in Biostat, not just as a major in Public health. So you should rather try University Medical centers or non profit organizations where they need a data analyst/statistician combo. Other position you can try is Medical writer in Pharmas and biotechs, where they need a degree in Publich Health and some statistical knowledge would have an edge compared to others. And as guy_tensed suggested, you can go for a Stat programmer position, but you might have to go through a contracting agency, coz most companies dont hire entry level programmers.
anyway, good luck !!!
