Biology, BioChem, Biological Sciences, or Nursing?

Alright, so I applied to colleges mostly for a Biochem major and if they didn’t offer that, I chose Biology. I suddenly had an urge to change my major the other day. I have a good feeling that I will be going to TAMU, definitely going somewhere in Texas, though. (hopefully I’ll get some scholarship or finaid from TAMU!!! ahhhh!) So here are my concerns:

For future Medical School considerations, I want a major that won’t be too terribly difficult to get a good GPA, if I don’t make it into medical school I want a major that will be able to get me a job with a bachelor’s degree.

Honestly, I feel like I have much much more interest in human health problems than just basic biology. I’m not sure how I feel about Biochem, heard it’s really hard. I recently thought about majoring in Nursing so I could at least be a nurse if nothing else works out, and thought that Nursing would help with med school, but also heard that Nursing majors do not satisfy requirements for med school, and I would have to take additional credits in med school or something.

What would be the best option? Maybe I could be a pharm rep with that degree?

Seems like EVERYONE’S majoring in Biology…
