Your first test of judgement is to think about why you think these people are in a position to know about ucsb.

That said, your o-chem teacher may be on to something (although it has nothing to do with ucsb). Jobs in science, assuming that is what you are aiming at, generally require a PhD to do anything meaningful. And even that degree is no guarantee. With a little web surfing you can see there is a glut of PhDs so employers are in a position to hold out and hire only those people for good jobs, leaving those with a BS largely in the dust. It is, unfortunately, a tough area.

Now if you are thinking of something other than working in a research lab, then your job prospects may differ.

I suggest thinking about what you want to do in a career now rather than assuming things will take care of themselves.
