<p>Actually, medical school does not require any specific undergraduate major. A pre-med can take the pre-med courses alongside any major.</p>
<p>However, the flood of pre-meds who feel that they have to major in biology to do pre-med but then fail to get into any medical school is probably a significant factor in flooding the job market with biology graduates and depressing pay levels and job prospects there.</p>
<p>But, as noted above, STEM majors have considerable variation in job prospects. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-5.html#post15975553[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-5.html#post15975553</a> indicate that biology job prospects are generally poor all the time, while engineering and computer science job prospects are a lot better except when there is an industry downturn.</p>
