Thank you comment icon Hello Cole, Your inquiry is right up my alley! You're the ideal mentor for me, but my specialty is economics, so I'm not in a position to offer guidance. I suggest diving into this fascinating subject from an Artificial Intelligence perspective or continue looking my peer's advice. May blessings always be upon you! Isida Mici

Rita’s Answer

I was always stronger in Chemistry then Biology. I thought I was going to be a Biochemistry major. Instead, they just opened a new major in Molecular Biology. I found it very interesting. You may want to look at that major.

Kim’s Answer

Hi Cole
Another option is to consider microbiology which requires both biology and chemistry. Potential careers include clinical laboratory for healthcare providers, public health, drug discovery, research, quality, etc. just to name a few.
Best wishes for a successful journey.

Morgan’s Answer

I was a biochemistry major in college - it might be a great major for you to pursue to see what specifically you like about bio and chem. You should consider trying out scientific research...many research labs work on biology and chemistry at the same time (ex. drug development for diseases...the drug development is a lot of chemistry and figuring out how it works in disease is a lot of biology). Good luck!!

In addition to the fine suggestions already made (microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biology with a chemical bent, chemistry with a biological bent), here are some others you might consider:
chemical biology (there is a field literally named this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_biology)
biomedical engineering
biochemical engineering (using life processes to make chemicals)
medicinal chemistry
pharmacology
medical/clinical laboratory science

Robert recommends the following next steps:
