Milk's on them.


I am a senior intending to graduate around mid-June (missing a requisite PE class) with a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Like a lot of kids my age, I'm totally clueless as to what I'm going to do after graduation. I'm wondering if this would be a good path to go down? I have a few questions as a result.

Are federal jobs subject to discrimination over LGBT status? I'm transgendered, and I worry that I may be turned down if I am required to disclose my trans status. Is this a major problem, or what is the track record the government has for that sort of thing?

Is this a good place to start if I'm not-quite-just beginning my work experience? I am 21 years old and literally about to graduate with my BS, so I'm not exactly someone with five years in IT or something like that. I have some experience under my belt in research and being a lab assistant, but I'm worried that that wouldn't qualify me for anything. Does this mean that I should look elsewhere for employment? Is this a good place to start? If not, where?

Thank you for your time.

How exactly do I get into an apprenticeship? I see that apprenticeships range from plumbing to welding to "telecommunications technician" to "stone setter and polisher" (jewelry) and the like, but...how do I actually JOIN one? Do I just call up the Office of Employment for the state I'm in or something?

What kind of opportunities would the government have for a recent graduate in BIomedical Engineering? What kind of pay grade would a Bachelors of Science in BME qualify for?
