If you do not mind going across the water, you could go to Bremerton, and apply at PSNS, Bangor, Keyport..Many civilian internships to be had there. I have many friends who have done this, and I am personal friends with the internship director at PSNS. His name is Danny Haas.

For 37 years I've been wondering how a person could get a BA in Biology. In terms of employment, my BA was useless. My BA was only useful in getting into other school programs. I went on to get a 2nd useless degree--MPH in health administration, and was working on a 3rd useless degree (doctor of health science) when with 14 units left to go, I decided what I really needed was a MARKETABLE JOB SKILL...so I took a leave of absence from my doctoral program and applied to dental school.
41 years later, I acknowledge that my father was absolutely right when he encouraged me to become a nurse. If I had done so, I would have had the where-with-all to fund schooling for any career. As it was, my only job skill was typing, which I did all through dental school and after when I was waiting to take my board exams.
I encourage you to look at careers in the health care field. With your degree, I'm sure you have all the prerequisites for an RN program. Two years in a community college program is what it would take to become an RN. RNs in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation make over 8400 a month at the top end. There are RNs who put themselves through medical school.
Having a marketable job skill is the key.
My BA overqualified me for a menial job in a pharmaceutical company. Being unskilled, inexperienced and unemployable worked out, though, because I went back to school and finally ended up with a good skill.

I've did 2 years of volunteering before applying for jobs.....and thats just to be a teaching ASSISTANT :O
DUring the economic climate as the uk is in "recession" there's always plenty of teaching jobs.....with a degree you could go for your ITT and become a science teacher
£30,000 k isnt much but the days are short and if u love paper work on saturday nights it's an excellent choice!

£30,000 k isnt much but the days are short and if u love paper work on saturday nights it's an excellent choice!I know how you feel, I'm at uni currently and have sent out around 30 job applications for part time work in the last 2 months with no luck. Its scaring me that I will get a degree (BA History) but have no jobs, or end up with a job that anyone could do and have spent 3 years of my life 'wasted' plus I will have student debts. I have no direction in my career path, teachers an option but I don't want to be one of those people that go into teaching because there isn't anything else/didn't know what else to do.
Only hope is to hang in there and hope times get better I think, sounds like your doing all you can.

Consider contacting WATERBABY. She works with/runs a foundation that may be of interest to you.
The Feds have a internet based application process for the sciences. It would involve working for the USFWS, USFS, or BLM. Also try tribal sources. There are many tribes with bio-based needs and services.
Best of luck.
If you have a really focused goal, and I may have missed it in your post, post it and maybe we can all help you.
