I am interested in public health and epidemiology (haven’t had much exposure tho, obv)- but what is the job outlook?
Also, I have already mentioned that I am interested in biomedical research, biochemistry and neuroscience- that is my end goal, as of now- can bioengineering/bme help me in that? There are some parts I like of bme, but other parts I don’t like so much :/. Also, since the programs vary SO much, college to college, I can’t really understand what kind of careers they will lead me to. Additionally, I should mention that I am interested in computer science too, tho I’ve had very little exposure to it. Would applying to bme/bioengineering programs, then dropping it if I don’t like it and switching to chem, be a good idea? I’ve asked on CC before about this, but didn’t get a clear answer. Neuroscience would def be a good major, but I think it will really limit my options if I want to do something OTHER than neuroscience in the future
Also- it would be nice if this came from someone in the field- I’ve heard that academia is a horrible place to be for biomedical scientists nowadays- but how is industry? (For PhDs, I mean) And is getting a position at places like M.D. Anderson really difficult?
