<p>I am wondering whether it would be wiser for someone interested in going to graduate school, and eventually working for academia as a researcher and professor at a university, to major in Chemistry or Chemical engineering (or similarly Biology or Bioengineering) in undergraduate? My interests lie heavily in math, computer science, chemistry, and biology. Also what are your opinions on which type of major (Chemistry or Biology) is on the frontier on new breakthroughs and allows students to gain more knowledge? What kind of knowledge exactly? My main goal from an undergraduate education is to gain as much knowledge as I can in areas that interest me. :)</p>
<p>Anyone have an opinion?</p>
<p>None of that question makes any sense. All fields are on the “frontier of new breakthroughs”, they just approach those issues from different lenses. All fields have more knowledge than you could ever learn. That’s why a professor will spend her entire life studying one seemingly microscopic aspect of a field.</p>
