<p>I was wondering with a somewhat low math grade, what discipline of biology i should get into. I'm interested in helping people, but I don't want to go to med school (too expensive). I also like technology, but are the jobs there for it? I also like the outdoors. What degree would be good for me in biology ie (bioinformatics or anything of the sort.) In other words, what degree in biology would be good. I also am going to have a 2nd degree in chemistry.</p>
<p>seems like you’re into biochemistry. don’t worry, biochemistry and chemistry are sufficiently different enough to double major. it’s not exceptionally challenging to study and there’s good careers making 40-50k right out of college.</p>
<p>It might be a bit of a reach, but I think you would do very well in public health. It’s such a broad spectrum of disciplines. You could be working in biochemistry or family/reproductive health. Depending on what you want to do career-wise, you could run surveys/field work or lab work, or even some combination of the two. For instance, I just did a public health internship this summer in malaria. I was in a biochemistry lab where some lab members were doing field work in Zambia collecting specimens, administering drugs, etc. I got to play with some really cool machines, and I know if I stuck with it long enough, I would be able to integrate that into directly helping people through field work. If your school doesn’t have public health as a major, I would strongly recommend looking at a graduate program that offers an MPH or MHS.</p>
