Question
Hi.I am planning to major in Biochemistry once I am in college.What are the job prospects of a biochemist in the US?
Thanks and have a great day.

Answer
The job market right now, isn't great in any company.
Pharmaceutical companies are tightening their financial belts.
You should still pursue your major and then continue to achieve a Doctorate.
While working at the University, you can contact Pharmaceutical companies for employment (if they don't contact you!)
Pursue this line if this is your passion, as it will be your livelihood!
Good luck!
