My grandparents will. My dad could give less of a fuck. I wish he did, to be honest.

I go to a state university, and my payment for the last four years (finishing in five) has been around 5-8k a semester. My father plans to retire in the next few years, but my grandparents had a college fund saved for me and my cousin. However, I’m the only one going to college.

I would say go. My friend graduated and now she is barista. And my friend is a banker and I am social media manager. Real life is boring. If you can afford it stay in

Oh, my father definitely can. He makes $100k a year, but he plans on retiring soon and is using it as…. Semi-blackmail. My maternal family has a $3-5M net worth, and they’re retired. But they’re supportive of me changing majors.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Most people need a high level of education.

The thing is, the Masters program is $8656 a semester, so about $17k for two years.

Ok so I don’t know much about that field but from what I have heard you basically need a masters if you want a job in your field. Otherwise you will be teaching k-12 science. If I were you I would research jobs that require a masters degree and then think very seriously about going for that. The days of a Bachelor’s degree meaning a guaranteed good job are long gone. And tbf even with a masters degree you could still struggle to find a good job

Exactly. A Bachelor’s degree isn’t enough for anything these days, but it seems my dad disagrees. He tells me I should just go to factories with him and meet companies he supplies.

If you can get a nepo job that pays good with just a bachelors degree then absolutely do it. If you are counting on your degree to get a job then a Bachelors in Biology won’t get you far

No, it’s a singular degree. It’s Biochemistry, pretty much.

Ok. Idk what kind of job market there is with a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry but I don’t think it’s much. Maybe explain this to your dad and show him the complete lack of jobs there are for people with just a bachelor’s.

Are you telling me I should just change majors, or…?

Not necessarily, no. Just really research and see what the job market is and what degrees are required
