Title: What kind of jobs can you get with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry?
Post by: _biology on Jul 11, 2012
I'm interested in science and chemistry, but I'm not sure that I want to go to grad school right after I get my undergrad degree.  Would it be possible for me to get a good job with just an undergrad degree in biochemistry?

In the USA an undergraduate degree in biochemistry does not lead to a job as an ultrasound technician.
Bachelor's degrees in "pure" sciences, other than physics, are unlikely to lead to a good career without graduate school, or even to any job all.  You may wish to consider an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering or biomedical engineering, both of which should lead to good careers in those fields.
