<p>Hello, this Fall I'm finally becoming a freshman in college and wanted to know a few things about majoring as a Biochem Engineer.</p>
<p>After researching for quite a while my few top major choices Biochem Engineering seems the one that catches my attention the most.</p>
<p>In the future, after college I would like to become a researcher or something probably in the medical field working toward developing new medicines and I'm wondering if biochem engineering is a good direction towards what I may want to do as a career.</p>
<p>I would like to know what other job prospects I may possibly have after college besides researching because I don't want to struggle finding a job and their descriptions. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help</p>
<p>The research end of science is very hot and cold. Not very reliable. After you got your degree in Bio-chemical engineering, you could go to pharmacy school if you’re interested in medicine.</p>
<p>I answered this question in the engineering section where you posted. However I also want to point out something. </p>
<p>Please note, whatever degree you choose, there are probably 50-100 different type of jobs that you could do with it. Research is not a hum drum cold broke position. It is like any job, it can be rewarding or it can be a complete flop. What if you just so happen to create something that is good for the world and can be mass produced and sold, bam you can become a millionaire or billionaire. </p>
<p>Keep in mind when reading these boards, or any boards online. Take what most people say with a grain of salt.</p>
