<p>That don't just want to become the standard doctor. Im not familiar with any job prospects besides general research.</p>

2

<p>Teach high school or middle school, work in a forensics lab for a city or state police department or the FBI, go to law school and become an intellectual property lawyer, go to pharmacy school and become a pharmacist, work for a state or federal environmental or health agency… that’s a start that doesn’t include hospitals, corporations or private companies.</p>

<p>Not exactly good news, due to the large number of biology majors compared to the number of biology-specific jobs, depressing the job and pay prospects.</p>

<p>Job prospects a very poor in biology and chemistry. You need to either go into a healthcare profession or grad school in an unrelated area and definately not grads school in science as that will make things worse for you.</p>

<p>Pharm, optometry, physcial therapy, occupational therapy, physician’s assistant, pathologist are areas to consider.</p>

5

<p>Materials science, bioinformatics (non-wet lab), and public health are industries/majors I would advise looking into. These options are loosely related to bio/chem.</p>

<p>Also environmental engineering (probably start from civil engineering).</p>

6

<p>Is there any lab work available?</p>

7

<p>bioengineering/chemical engineering are some of the highest paid jobs in the USA, if you’re looking to make lot of money</p>

<p>@teendream:</p>

<p>Compare the numbers of jobs advertised for specific majors versus the number of grads with those majors. Decide if the jobs you see listed are jobs you that would actually want to do indefinitely for the salaries offered.</p>

<p>You have to start with the assumption that your undergraduate years will be your best and only opportunity to get the skills and preparation that you will need for your first real job.</p>

<p>Are biomedical engineering/ bioengineering degrees useful?</p>
