<p>I was wondering what major would give me the most stable fall-back career option if med school doesn’t happen. Which major listed below has the most stable growth rate and demand? With a PhD in any of the following listed, which major would provide a well-paid, economically job? I would like to know so I know what to do if Med School fails! Thanks </p>
<p>I’d say none of the above. A BS in ChemE would be better than a Chem of Bio PhD. PhD’s in the sciences have horrendous unemployment and companies have shifted to hiring their science staff as Permatemps $15 to $20 an hour no benefits or job security. I have an MS and work with a PhD Chemist at the same crapo large food corp. All the PhD’s who went with me to grad school are still in stinky post-docs 5 years later. The only one who isn’t got kicked out by the PI, got an MBA, now he is doing pretty well.</p>
<p>My suggestions are engineering or professional school. Not grad school in the sciences.</p>
<p>TBQH, don’t major in any of those. Go engineering/applied math/computer science or be prepared to face the consequences if you don’t get into medical school.</p>
