nanotechnology:

But I agree with the other posters - if you want to go into a STEM field, taking orgo is a really good idea.



The STEM fields where organic chemistry is part of the curriculum are biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Other STEM fields typically do not require organic chemistry. Of course, pre-meds in any major have to take organic chemistry.

Obviously, since the OP is interested in biochemistry or biomedical engineering, organic chemistry is relevant. But generalizing about “STEM fields” does not make sense here.
