ISO Advice from Bioinformaticians

I am a recent BSc in biology grad and I am considering a career in bioinformatics, genomics, or proteomics. Over the past few months, I have started to teach myself the basics of programming. I was hoping to get in contact with anyone currently working in any of these fields to better understand what the job looks like and what the best next steps might be.

Also looking for an internship that might help me better understand what it is like to work in the field, but most seem only open to MSc and PhD grads. I am more than willing to continue my education once I get a better feel whether it is the industry for me.

Any advice, tips, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
