<p>I am asking myself the same question. Right now I am a biochemistry major. I enjoy the materials, however I am wondering in the end if it will be worth it. I am debating on switching to engineering. </p>
<p>My biochemistry degree can be fast tracked to ms biomedical engineering but I am not sure that is something I would want to do. I do not have a degree yet and work in a laboratory (micro) and make only 1 dollar less per hour than those with a degree, so in reality, I often wonder if science degrees other than engineering are worth anything anymore. For me to get a job that pays the same as a BS just 1 dollar less. That is pretty sad. That is why I am considering on going to mech e or chem e.</p>
<p>BTW I go to work full time and school part time. Talk about rough. I am seriously considering engineering. The maths may seem tough but if you can get past cal I-III and Physics, you should be alright. Hopefully. If all goes well, I will be taking calculus in the fall. Best wishes and good luck.</p>
