Vernon’s Answer

When I received my M.S. in biology, I spent many hours studying biochemistry. It is a very diverse subject, after all. Moreover, selecting a career that keeps you out of the busboys union is a long and difficult road. As you see, the current government denies science and cuts research funding. My advice is to get your undergraduate degree in the U.S. while learning at least one European language. Then, head for Europe or New Zealand to get your advanced degrees. You'll also be better placed for career employment over there as they will be the cutting edge in a variety of biochemistry fields.

If our government finally figures out their mistakes and returns to investing in our nation and its people, come back and be prepared to lead.

Savita’s Answer

If you get an undergraduate degree with a major in Biochemistry you could either work as a research technician in laboratories in academic setting or as a research technician in an Industry. If you want to be focused on obtaining an industry job make sure you also take other courses such as analytical chemistry or pharmaceutical sciences, it helps immensely to have a little diverse experience because most often research projects are interdisciplinary.
