Everyone says biology and chemistry are dead majors

<p>As I said before, you will likely need a graduate degree (M.S. or PhD) to get a good position. But the good news is that graduate school for science majors is usually a full-ride, plus you are usually offered a teaching assistanceship, research assistanceship (i.e. a paid job), or a fellowship (a stipend) which pays enough to get a modest apartment and groceries. </p>

<p>While you are still a full time student, you can defer payment on your undergraduate loans-- keep in mind, though, that the loan interest will continue to accrue.</p>

<p>Talk to chemistry and biology professors about the steps you should take to pursue a science career.</p>

<p>The market for BS graduates, I’m afraid, does not look good.</p>
