<p>When I begin studies at a four-year university this fall, I'd like to veer toward science. Accounting, Business, etc., are too dry for me. I was surprised to see some write that Chemistry majors often land low-paying jobs with little job security, some who have temporary year-or-so jobs. Money isn't a very important factor, but job security is. So, which science majors out there offer good career prospects?</p>
<p>Are you talking about strictly science jobs or also unrelated? I might be little bias, but I would have to say that physics is your best bet. Many employers view a physics degree as essentially equivalent to a math degree. With a degree in physics, employers will know that you are smart, able to solve problems, learn quickly, and think critically. With some grad school, you can even land engineering jobs (so I’ve heard). </p>
<p>The truth is that most physics majors end up doing something completely unrelated to physics. They often end up in management, accounting, programming, or any other job that required some critical thinking.</p>
<p>If you are dead set on a technical career such as engineering, then forget science degrees and go for engineering</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Computer science, applied math, statistics. Physics majors more easily shift into better jobs than biology or chemistry majors, but those jobs are typically not physics (usually in computers, finance, or engineering).</p>

<p>Chemical engineering. The money of an engineer, the job of a scientist.</p>
