Hi Veeky Forums
Can we get a general degrees thread going?
>Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering
>Bachelor of Biomedical Science in Molecular Pathology
thoughts?

Maybe, if you posted a tier pic that wasn't the most cancerous and wrong of them all.
Unless you go to a top uni and have a specific plan with biomed (like going into academia or something like that) and love the subject more than anything else, do software engy for jobs.
Science degrees are for those who have a plan and like something specific. Engineering for your comfy that can get you jobs conveniently.

I'm planning on progressing through Bio-med to become an research immunologist, the Software Engineer is just so I can find a job to finance my education.
And apologies for the pic, haven't seen any others around.

this sounds like a fancy name for molecular biology

My university has weird names for their degrees.

all degree ranking pics are shit
except this one:
God tier: What you love, do well and pays well
Top tier: What you love and do well
Mid tier: What pays well and you do well / What you love and pays well
Low tier: Only one of the three
Shit tier: None of the three

What's wrong with political science/international relations?

Basic sciences require a PhD if you want a good job. So I recommend getting lab research experience as an undergraduate because if you hate it you will hate your career and your life. If your school offers a 5 year BS /MS I'd do that since you can get a decent job like that or you can go to graduate school to continue a PhD.
I am speaking from chemistry experience. I know that bio informatics and computational biology is getting really hot so if you can dual major in biology / CS, biology / math, biology / physics, or even just biology but learn programming or get a minor in CS you can get a pretty cool job. Most will require a master's though. I know if you did a BS / MS and did your thesis in bio informatics you could get a job starting at 55 - 70k depending on how good your projects are. I know that biology is changing and becoming more quantitative, same with pathology.
If computation isn't your thing, molecular genetics / biology is also getting pretty hot now with the recent advances. But you'll still need a PhD to do any meaningful work.
