If you're going onto to do research you do Honours first. Anecdotally most people I know who did Honours, and did well, found something (usually an RA/lab tech job), or were successful in getting a PhD scholarship.
Once you're doing a PhD, you're no longer paying, you are getting paid.
I get that but the stats show that without further study it's very hard to get a job with a Bachelor of science that interests students. Most are working jobs which they feel has little to do with they want.
And when you check careers prospects for biomed and a Bachelor of science they don't say you need honours or a PHD to be a researcher with just those degrees you could be a researcher and the stats don't back it up.
