I'm a biochemistry major and almost every job I find online requires at least 2-5 years experience or some kind of masters degree. How in the world are we supposed to get that experience if companies won't hire us to begin with? This is really frustrating. Besides internships (a few months), where am I supposed to get 2 years experience fresh out of college? I want to start working right away and to do that I need a job right away. Advice?

Hi, I'm still a junior in high school, but I want to start considering some possible future career choices. I love chemistry, but I also like the medical field... What are some good, stable jobs that applies to that? I am considering pharmacist, but it seems a bit monotonous/depressing? Correct me if I am wrong! Also my mom is a clinical laboratory scientist, which also applies. Can any of you suggest more?

I'm leaning toward being an RN, but I've also considered going to a college nearby for a bigger and better medical/science degree. If I went there I would want to major in biochemistry, possibly with a collateral major in neuroscience. So my question to you is this; what kind of jobs can biochemists get? What about neuroscientists, besides being brain surgeons? What about neurobiochemists?
