<p>wait are you kidding?</p>
<p>Biology has a wider range of job opportunities? Not bashing biology, but you listed a few fields, but not any specific jobs. What job in the health field? Lab analyst? How many Bio majors have even touched an HPLC, touched a GCMS? Think you can be a lab analyst not knowing 2 of the most widely used analytical instruments? You’re right in that there are many fields that seem like they need biology, but they need chemistry more.</p>
<p>A BS in chemistry can work in oil, both upstream and downstream; pharmaceuticals, ranging from drug design to process engineer to analyst; medical lab analyst; environmental lab analyst; semiconductors and electronics usually as a materials scientist or process engineer; or even law and business. The broad, hands-on and quantitative knowledge given to chemistry students means that they can take up graduate studies in almost anything, or find employment in any field that requires both hands on laboratory skills and quantitative skills.</p>
