Biochem major is harder I believe, but is much more fundamental to medicine, as it will allow you to learn about many things, including how biological functions work on a chemical level and how drugs & pharmaceuticals actually work. Pretty cool in my opinion. Biology is a bit more general I believe, but you probably have to learn a little biochem. You get to learn other cool things though, like genetics and stuff like that. But sadly, a bachelor’s degree in science doesn’t really do much for you in terms of jobs. They want to see Master’s, PhD’s and/or MD’s in labs and hospitals, unfortunately.
