biology vs. engineering

<p>I'm going to be applying to colleges this year and have narrowed my majors down to engineering or biology. I enjoy both math and biology, but biology is what truly interests me. The only thing is i'm worried about the job prospects for biology. Being a lab assistant doesn't interest me. Engineering seems to be much more secure in this aspect. My concern with engineering is the difficulty of the major. I don't envision myself slacking off or partying too hard, but I struggled with calculus last year. I ended with a B in the class, but got a 2 on the ap exam. In my defense I had a lot of sports and extra curricular activities at the time, but I'm also worried about continuing to struggle as the math gets more advanced. So, would it be worth it to get a biology degree or should I stick with engineering? I'm thinking about doing chemical engineering or eventually getting into biomedical engineering so I could still do some bio.</p>

<p>Engineering is very tough but worth it. You’d have better prospects with a 2.0 in Engineering than a 4.0 in biology. In fact the only thing a biology degree is any good for is going to professional school Med Pharm Dental etc or you will likely be doing to most mundane gruntwork in a lab for $12 an hour no benefits and those jobs prefer chem majors.</p>
