Career Choices for Computational Biologists?

wengkius writes "I'm entering grad school this year and will be working towards a higher degree in Computational Biology. While my undergraduate training has been in computer science, I'm looking to apply what I've learned in a new area that has piqued my interest. Now my question is this: apart from the obvious career choices that I have thought of (academic research, pharma corporations, biotech startups), are there any other career options that I have yet to consider? Would be great to hear from Slashdotters who are familiar with the field."

    Have you considered the myriad career opportunities available to you in the exciting and fast-paced field of quick food preparation and service? That way you can take full advantage of the computational aspect (cash registers) and the biological aspect (more so in some places than others) of your chosen field of study.
