<p>That is just blind naive idealism. A job isn’t going to materialize because you are interested. Do you think all those BA grads serving cofee at Starbucks or collecting carts at Walmart just don’t have the passion or interest in what they studied? Heck I like bicycling but that doesn’t mean I want to work for minimum wage at a bike store. </p>
<p>Jobs go to people with in demand knowledge skills and experience. The heyday of biotech and pharma in the US is long over. Biochemistry is as far from high demand as one can get. Unless you go into healthcare professional school a biochemistry degree is nearly worthless.</p>
