    It depends on your qualifications but here are a few areas I can think of off the top of my head:

    Academic Research as a technician, or get a PhD become a post doc researcher which can lead to principal investigator posts and/or lecturing.

    Industrial Research - BigPharma or biotech but I don't know much about this. I think there is a lot of work in the agricultural sector for genetics.

    Pharmaceutical rep (advertise drugs to hospitals)

    Clinical, hospital lab work technician, research.
    Clinical Genetics Careers
    NSGC: Career in Genetic Counseling

    Forensic/ paternity testing lab work

    Genetics Society - Home

    Good places to look for potential jobs are science career sites like these
    Genetics Jobs - jobs.ac.uk
    Science Jobs from New Scientist Jobs

    So quiet a few things you can do really!
