Senior in high school, loving anatomy/ physiology (right now we're doing the chemical physiology of muscles.. loving it)

What about pathology? Lots of anatomy there.

No medical school please

You're wrong, they're /both/ pill salesmen.

Come be a chemical engineer. We'll beat your love of chemistry right out of you.

>Rejects and dislikes every suggestion that involves both but requires hard work
Kill yoreself my man.

Biomedical for your bachelors and then see where you want to go. Biomedical will land you a job at most pharmaceutical companies but if you have a change of heart your credits will transfer towards plenty of other majors. It just might take you an extra 2 years if you apply yourself

Yeah

They both kinda sound like meme degrees pick a better school. But if i had to pick go with drug discovery.

Enzymology, structural biology, and biosynthetic pathway development/engineering are all pretty fun. They translate well into both academic opportunities and biotech opportunities depending on what you want to do.
Alternatively, medicinal chemistry is pretty cool if you want to work deep in drug development without med/pharmacy school, but it is much heavier on organic synthesis and trends more toward purely academic futures

This is actually my main option right now until I decided to think about pharmacy. Thing is, I don't really enjoy physics.. so I've been having second thoughts
Hard work isn't the reason I don't want to go to medical school, bud.
Could be a good idea.
They're not degrees, they're pathways within the bachelors of pharmaceutical science. The school is Ohio State University.

I've kinda heard that biotech is a meme.. feel like job security for that is really shitty and I'd most likely get some sort of low lab monkey job

biochemistry as an undergrad and then man up and become a doctor

>man up

Medical school is retarded expensive.. doctor hours are way too long. Not for me

>taking hs chem
>omg I love sigfig rules I'm gonna be a chemist!~

Don't declare a major until after you've taken your gened, op. It will save you the shame of having to tell everyone you switched to business after your first year

>"omg I love sigfig rules I'm gonna be a chemist!~"
>kek

What's good is that my first year courses are going to be pretty much the same no matter what I do. The thing is, freshman have to take long one sequence of major specific class like a major survey. Not sure how that'll work out since I'll be undeclared.

freshman have to one*

i saved post a while back
"Sorry to break it to you, but medicine is a meme and has been for a long time. It'd be worth it if the process to become a doctor isn't as soul crushing as a lifetime of wageslaving.

For the first few years, you'll get a bachelors and probably will be stuck with a bunch of retarded premeds that you're going to compete with to get into med school. Hanging around retards is bad since you have nobody to talk to aside from mentally unstable people who've been helicoptered by their parents into getting an MD. Hanging around people as smart as you is bad because of competition. Pre-med competitive antics are annoying as fuck, like when they sabotage each others labs and grades. You'll have to study for a host of test like the MCAT and get recommendation letters from everyone you know and worry about leadership and extracurriculars and showing passion for the poor. Good luck with writing an essay that isn't cliche'd. In the end, most of you won't even get in.

If you made it in, congratulations, you have 4 more years of memorizing ass. Done? OK just do some residency for 3 to 7 years depending on how retarded you are. Then congrats you are officially a doctor at 30 years old. And you have a fuckton of debt.

Now during your practice you realize you live in a country where people like to fuck you over by suing you for retarded shit. So half your salary goes to legal expenses. Let's not forget Obama trying to fuck you over as well. Whatever money you make, you won't get time to spend it since your constantly on call and have to wake up at 2 am to save someone's dick. Want to have fun? Sorry, you're bound by medical ethics and shit that essentially means you can't even talk to your patients like a normal fucking human being.

So essentially the system is set up so you can't be a doctor if you want money and stability. You must legitimately hate yourself and/or have a messiah complex, and if you don't already have a gaping anus, you'll get one."

Depends on your geography. If you're in the bay area or san diego, it's a pretty safe bet. Anywhere else it's about the same as most other science based industries

People should figure out what they generally want to do (for example, they know they want to do something engineering or something financial) so they can target schools that are specifically good at that. Doing it that way can help you find typically overlooked schools that are easy to get into yet are better than schools harder to get into in that specific area. An example would be BC for finance or RPI for engineering

Youre still in HS, just taking A&P and chem doesnt mean you want to get into healthcare. You should just focus on just going to a decent undergrad school and major in biochem and see if you actually like it after the experience of getting slammed with that stufff.

Volunteer or get a job in healthcare and see what you want to do.
I love the biochemistry and drug interactions of the human body as well. But since I am not interested in doing purely research, MD has more options. I want to treat patients and have that "human interaction"

Get involved in many things, you are still in highschool...you will find out a lot about yourself in the coming few years. When I was a HS senior, I didnt give a fuck about school or academia, but 4 years later I am devoted to medicine.

Is your teacher the big fat autistic one with the kind of fucked up right leg?

Kek, no

OP i will be real with you

If you arent pre PA, dentist, or MD, stay the fuck away from anything chem or bio related. You have been warned. This list is the ONLY list of jobs that actually exist to graduates in 2016
-healthcare but NOT pharm
-computer engineering
-mechanical engineering
-teaching (unions keep this alive)
-business (only if have familial connection)
-government paper pusher if minority
-secretarial work if hot chick

This is all that exists. Every other career option requires a PhD, crazy connections, and a few internships. Biomedical engineering is a meme. All electrical engineering done in china. Law is a meme. Journalism is a meme. Any sort of research is a meme. What i have listed is all the is left.

Pharmacy isn't a meme, and there are a ton of jobs but none of them seem exciting.

I'm doing my PhD in microbiology but I majored in biomolecular science. I personally find biochemistry interesting af, especially when it comes to protein and enzyme r&d. They're the challenging/expensive drugs to make that can't be synthetically produced so there's always fun research going on in those areas.
