<p>I was was just wondering what everybody thinks and knows from facts. I was trying to major in general chemistry at Penn State but I am now double minded about it since, after hearing this from many people, there are very few jobs available with a bachelor's degree in Biology. I was wondering if this is true. Also, if I decide to switch to biochemistry, would I be better off after undergrad? Are there more jobs available with a major in biochemistry? If one decided not go to to med school, would biochem be a good backup? Please let me know your opinions. Thanks! </p>
<p>No, Biochem is bad too</p>
<p>Like all, but a few of the science majors suck for getting a good job out of undergrad.</p>
<p>Then what major do you suggest?</p>
<p>With just a bachelor’s, options in science are fairly limited. Geology majors are somewhat able to find jobs in the oil industry. I know some environmental science majors that get employed in environmental-like occupations. The engineering disciplines do fairly well. Nursing is always in demand. </p>
<p>Biomedical engineering can be a somewhat decent route for you, although compared to other engineers, they are not very good at getting jobs at the Bachelor level. A Master’s is often required for actual practice in the biomedical industry. However, I think biomed engineering yields the highest acceptance to med schools ors oemthing like that.</p>
