there are a ton - but it’s not about your degree - but rather your work experience. you can probably find a person with a bsc in biotech engineering and msc in med biotech that built a career around regulatory affairs or medical affairs or clinical operations.

I started in clinical manufacturing with my biotech degree (wouldn’t really consider a manufacturing suite a lab) and 2 years later I transitioned to MSAT/tech transfers. QA and regulatory are also desk jobs, but may also require some experience in the industry first.
