<p>That was the simple answer to my question. By in the field, I meant in a job where I would actually practice my major (chemistry, biochem, etc.) But if I really have to get a PhD, perhaps I can do something in engineering.</p>
<p>The reason I like Chemical Engineering in particular is because it combines all 3 of the sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), and I am a science nerd. Math isn’t all that fun for me, but I’m good at it. The reason I’d like to work in a lab is because I like the idea of doing groundbreaking research or mixing stuff in vials. I’m not too settled on the idea of engineering, but its the closest I can get to. Reading the descriptions of what they do seems enjoyable enough to me.</p>
<p>If I were to get a master’s in a traditional science (biochemistry, chem, bio, etc.), which one would I most likely be able to find a job in if I were to get a Master’s? And is it utterly necessary to get the PhD to seek such a position?</p>
<p>One more thing; I’ve seen and heard good things about Environmental Science (not studies), is a bachelor’s in ES a viable route? Like, is the job market for that type of major in general open?</p>
<p>I really wish I could get a degree in something sciency and not have to go to grad school right away… seems like the only viable bachelor degrees are in engineering or business nowadays, at least to me.</p>
<p>I do love chemistry and biology and astronomy, people tell me to follow what I love but if I can’t even practice what I love, I don’t see the point in pursuing an unviable career path.</p>
