I am broke, due to health reasons anxiety/GAD and bad credit score I can not afford to apply to medical school right now and need a job asap. What kind of immediate jobs are out there for someone with a degree in Biomedical Sciences, what salaries are out there for someone with a degree like one? Should i just go to school for my MBA since it was my backup plan just in case something came up that prevented me from entering medicine.
 
I agree -- if you are too broke to apply to med schools, then you probably can not afford to apply to very many b-schools right now as well (applications are about $250 each). Another job option would be teaching -- there is always a shortage of math/science teachers in most urban school districts, and you would definitely learn a lot about yourself in the process. And there are always non profits... If you are looking for big cash, try your chances at pharma sales.
 
Research tech - there are always labs out there that need one

Pharmaceutical consulting - in my line of work, a degree in bio goes a long way
 
Where would you suggest to find these research tech jobs? I'm having a hard time finding any in NYV or LI on Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com.

I am already accepted into my undergrad MBA program, it was free it apply in-house.

Me too , give me details to jobs, entry-level ones that is. Any websites, company sites, contact info would be appreciated. Instead of negative useless responses, those who have some useful information please pm or post it. Thanks all...
