I feel your best bet would be to do some research, but to also talk to your advisor in your major or someone in this field. It doesn't hurt to interview someone in the major. [ kapeverlasting's advice column | Ask kapeverlasting A Question ]

A great deal of Bio-science work is done at University campuses under different types of grants. Hospitals such as Johns Hopkins also does a great deal of research in conjunction with their College and school of Medicine. What I'm not sure of is how high paying these jobs are since most are as I said done under grant funding.
IF you are already in College taking courses towards this degree I would suggest talking with someone in the career counseling office or one of your professors.
If you are not in college yet; write to some of the Drug Companies, the NIH, and the CDC to find out more about this career field. If they have a lab near where you live you might apply for a summer internship with one of them to get a first hand look at this career field.
