I’d agree that chemistry major is pretty future proof. If you like working in a lab, it could be a great career! Do yourself a favor - do undergrad research and internships. Having that experience will help you land an entry-level job with just a bachelor’s degree.
Biology majors are pretty saturated... I had 1200 students majoring in bio, compared to 300 majoring in chemistry. So there is that!
is microbiology also saturated?
@@sana8362 many of my students who focused on microbio and had additional research and internship experience did great for themselves. But like Shane says, additional education (medical lab science certificate or grad school is recommended/needed)
@@collegenook4535 I see. Thank you a lot for the clarification.
@@collegenook4535 How about biochemistry? I love chemistry but I hear there's more opportunities with biochemistry.
@@ahmadbahja8341 I think it all depends. With Biochemistry degrees, it would be important to look at curriculum. Colleges/universities might have a major called "biochemistry", but curriculum might differ. Biochem has fewer Math/Physical Chem classes, while has more BIO classes(Genetics/Cell bio), which (if you think about it) prepares you well for pharmacy track. You can also work as a research assistant with a bachelor's degree. You can consider doing Chem major and BIO minor too... Start talking to faculty at your colleges about opportunities for undergrad research. Are you in college or still in high school?
Can you make a video about biochemistry?

Here early, commenting for the UA-cam algorithm.
Appreciate it
Do a chemical engineering video. Talk about salaries in different states, job outlook, best state colleges for this major, companies that hire this major, how hard is this major?, etc. You are doing a good job, keep up the good work.
Noted
Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biophysics.
These choices are tough for me.
Douglas in STEM chemistry and physics is more General
Biochem
Good luck!
I suggest you look into industrial engineer : biochemistry or chemistry.
Or bio-engineering.
The engineering part is physics applied and then you have your main chemistry or biochemistry.
If you do physics you're less likely to actually do physics in yoyr job unlike engineering.
If you study physics alone you're not likely to actually work with physics.
Or civil engineering :chemistry or biochemistry obv
Hey, I really love chem but I cannot choose what to do specifically in the future. Thanks a lot for making this video, love all your videos!
You're very welcome!
Really excited about this one!
Hope you enjoyed it
Hey Shane, first off, congrats on getting over 100K subs; well deserved. Secondly, thanks for doing a video on my majors; I have a BS and MS in chemistry. I have to say that I agree. It's a hard major, but not a lot, if any, flexibility in the job market. A lot of lab jobs actually in biological or life science type companies (e.g. medicine and drug related fields), then oil and power, followed next behind mining and/or minerals; in my opinion, of course. The vast majority of jobs were education related; I guess a lot of folks want to pass organic chemistry for med school probably. After those fields, you have the outliers like the legal field for intellectual property. Unfortunately, you are correct in probably needing a second degree(s) or some sort of certification(s) or licence(s). Definitely a fun time in school labs getting the degrees, but a headache in the work force. Keep up the great content. BK
Thanks BK
Great video Shane! I really enjoy the way you outline all these degrees. You've really helped me learn how to think about choosing a degree/career path :)
Happy to help David! Cheers!
You are the most consistent and quick UA-camr ever!!! #plz do architecture.
Thanks Randell.. Noted your request
Gonna share this to my friends who are planning to study Chemistry
Thank you! I would appreciate that
I really needed this
Thanks for this!

@@ShaneHummus thanks
I wish I knew this 20 years ago
Thanks for watching
As a Chemist, I can say that the main reason people with Chem/Biochemistry degrees can’t get a job with just a bachelors is for two reasons.
1. No internships or Research in undergrad
2. Didn’t use Staffing companies or recruiters
Most Chemistry/Biochemistry jobs at the lower level can only be attained through point number 2 as stated above.
The reason companies do this is because they’re not going to spend a lot of money paying for benefits investing in entry level candidates who may just leave for the next higher paying job. Training a very good chemists on the instruments & data analysis for each instrument can take up to 6+ months for the average person. A really good chemist can probably get it done in about 4 months if the training is really good.
So they only hire through staffing companies or recruiters for most (80-90%) entry level jobs in this field. After i had ~2 years experience thousands of other jobs opened up.
Also I would NOT recommend a Masters in Chemistry or Biochemistry because once you have enough experience with a Bachelors you’ll be on the same playing field as the person with a Masters.
Only graduate degree worth getting in the Chemistry/Biochemistry field is a Ph.D but if you go that route you better really really love chemistry.
Thanks for sharing this. Worth a read
I'm not going to lie i was excited when i saw the thumbnail. I thought "shane is expanding the domain of his channel". I wouldn't mind watching videos where you talk about different aspects of Science since you have the credentials and background for it
I'll keep that in mind Alex.
@@ShaneHummus yes!!!
Currently watching breaking bad, thinking about getting a chemistry degree ⚗️
Please don't do it for because you think it's like breaking bad 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Im currently a student studying chemistry at college/university and I can tell you it's very difficult!
There are alot of maths , like alot.
Lab work is not fun like they seem in breaking bad , oh man I wish it was. Experiments are tedious and boring. This is just for me personally, i personally am not a fan of math and I honestly wish I had picked a degree related to biology as learning about anatomy and physiology is so intriguing to want to learn. This is what I feel I'm lacking chemistry , the content is pretty bland compared to biology.
However , this is just my opinion, my advice would be to do ALOT of research and pick a subject you wouldn't mind working very hard to excel in as in university/college is very independent.
Hope this helped.
@@saudrehman8810 I appreciate your input! My comment was not serious lol. I actually hate chemistry (I think my high school teacher made me dislike it & I never gave it another shot). I am studying computer science at the moment!
@saud rehman true, going into the lab takes the whole day, and waiting is another, collecting result is yet another..... endless😂
lol
@@saudrehman8810 dude, why are you studying chemistry then?
Hummus is a dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It is popular in the Middle East and in Middle Eastern cuisine around the globe. It can also be found in most grocery stores in North America and Europe
I know lol
Hey Shane in this series also include MBA 1 year and master of management 10 months program..

Please do chemical engineering too
I might do that in the future
Thumbnail gave me MajorPrep vibes. Since MajorPrep moved to "Zach Star" you should continue these videos and take over that area of UA-cam! He saw incredible success and growth because of it
Thanks for watching
I am currently trying to choose what I want to major in and it is a really tough decision for me to do. I really like chemistry and am thinking about going into chemistry but I just don’t really know what career I would want to go in (salary and demand is also taken into account). I also like physics but I’m simply not sure if I would like it as much as if I went into chemistry. Between experimental and theoretical physicist I would rather do experimental but I am not sure what type of work they do. I am also thinking of going into biochemistry but the problem is I’m not too fond of biology simply because what I’ve done in it so far has been a lot of work where you memorize the names of different things and less hands on research work. But careers in like pharmacology or genetics do interest me. Plus, working in the space industry is something I would love to do.
It’s very hard for me to make a definitive choice since I am interested in many different things. What I do know is working in research/labs or working in the space industry are both options I would really enjoy, I simply don’t know what career/major to choose. Help.
Opinion on pharmacology pls
I might make a video about it
Couldn’t agree more with all of the information presented here. Unfortunately, in science, especially at the graduate level, one’s skillset becomes so specialized in a particular field, that it becomes so tough to shift to a different career. Moreover, in fields like chemistry, while some skills are in demand, they’re also in very high supply because of overlapping skills with people in related disciplines e.g. biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics.
Thanks for watching Lorenzo

@@rayyfire5738 yess but not exactly
@@ShaneHummus thankyou shane ! It was helpful
@@ananya3100 biochem major here
Chemistry major here.
how easy was it to get a good job with a bachelors degree?
It was okay, first job right after bachelors was salaried and good pay, benefits. stayed there for a little more than a year. Then, got a new position with much higher salary and benefits.
@@jingpengxu923 would you recommend getting a biochemistry bachelors degree over a chemistry degree to have better job opportunities since it involves both bio and chem. And do you think i can get the same jobs with biochem degree as a chemistry degree?
@@fazelegendarygeo2457 I did physics and chemistry double major. I never took a biology or bio-related course in undergraduate.
I think with current COVID situation, anything bio related majors are very good (biochem, biotech, bio information). The new company I am working for is considered a biotech company. They specialize in membranes and filtrations.
It depends on the industry you want to go, if you want to go to bio/pharma industry, then go for more bio oriented chemistry. If you want to go to semiconductor, metal industry, go for a more physical oriented chemistry.
Thanks for watching
Can you please do a similar video about microbiology! please
I might make one. Stay tuned
pls make a video about your experience as a pharmacist
Hmmm we'll see
That's what i want , thanks
Enjoy
Very informative. Can you do one on Biochemistry too?
Thanks for watching
@@ShaneHummus Appreciate all the hard work you put in for us. Thank you, Shane.
I started off as a Biochemistry major in undergrad. I had no idea of how things worked for a career, but was told by other students most go to medical or Law school. I got a C and quickly changed my major.
What did you change your major to?
@@agbaya5314 a few different majors, the last one, in which my Degree states is History.
Please do physics next!

There is much need for more environmental responsibility regarding chemical matters, whether directly or indirectly related to chemical industry companies. Water quality is far from the least of it, and many concerns, pro-actively before product release, and retroactively after remediable action is needed, could be assisted by new generations of chemistry experts. More government insistence that testing be done on the myriad of chemical substances among us would help health and jobs.
Thanks for sharing your views
I just graduated and i dont know what to do next so you are really helping me right now
Hey ! Did you graduate in chem ?
I'm gonna soon
And I'm soo confused honestly idk what to do

Thanks Shane! I was just about to ask you something... What about good degrees for people who also enjoy learning languages but not only... as I saw at 4:00 that english and foreign languages have a high rate of regret?
I might make a separate video
I guess everyone has to get a comp sci degree , whether they think its boring as shit or not . STEM is way over sold. if it's not coding related its crap.
Too bad , I really think the computer stuff is way overpaid but thats where the money is.
You do what you like, he's just explaining the caveats to every degree. If you don't want him to tell the truth, don't listen.
Edit: And yes, computer stuff is, sort of, overrated. But you must remember the future is automation; who do you think does the automation?
I agree but + registered nursing. Unfortunately the only degrees that are truly worth it (in my opinion) are computer science and registered nursing.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
How abt a video on the lucrative IT careers for non-IT students (like which don't require codings nd programming skills)
