currently experiencing this. Taking two biology courses to finish up my last semester and holy cow i'm the only remotely intelligent person in the room and that includes the instructor!
Think about changing majors. These classmates will be your future co-workers and managers. They won't get any smarter but they will be more convinced that they are.
Most of the high paying bio jobs are in the big blue liberal cities (Bay area, NYC, Chicago, Boston, DC...). The pay is 'high' but the cost of housing + taxes are insane. This makes the pay poor. Also, many time you'll need a PhD to have any role where you get to think some of the time. Also, lab work means that there is no hope to work from home.
I was experiencing what you are now, in the past. I made it to the top of my field and it was horrible. Surrounded by retards with PhDs that didn't understand why copy/paste data tables was better than retyping them out into multiple places. I'm doing a full industry change to get away from them.
I am going into GIS. I am not majoring in biology or even minoring. I picked them because I knew they would be easy. But i seriously was not expecting even this easy.
Do you have a suggestion for a free software/website to make custom maps with high resolution satellite images? I'd like to make a personal maps that document trails, hills, swamps, landmarks, people's locations and such to help a few new hunters that are coming hunting with my group this year.

Off topic question/favor.

Thank you.
I could actually help you make one. Do you have Discord? That's my only mode of communication.
Glade to hear.
