<p>Way back when, I had the same question as the OP. I ended up getting a degree in Biology and did a medical technology internship. I spent 5 years in a profession that frankly, I HATED.</p>
<p>It was extremely stressful, the hours were lousy (worked almost every weekend and holidays), and chances for advancement were very limited. Oh, and when we moved (H was transferred), I spent quite a while unemployed as I could not find a job. I ended up returning to school and changing careers entirely as did many of my fellow med techs.</p>
<p>Just my experience here. But the moral of the story is that looking at a major/career strictly in terms of “will there be jobs” can be a big mistake.</p>
