Any employment path based on Research and Development is likely to be a real awful and unstable one in the USA.
I’d find at least one of the healthcare professions you can go into PA, PT, MD, Pharm, Med etc or plan on getting a grad degree in something nonrelated.

Actually since you are only a sophomore it is not too late to change course. Determine which majors are marketable, which you could do for a paycheck without being completely miserable and go from there. SOme of the good majors are nursing, accounting/finance, some of the other more specific business majors. Do some interning or shadowing. I cannot overemphasize how valueable an internship could be.

However, you heard correct. Most sciences have abominable employment prospects especially biology which frequently makes the list for most underemployed majors.
