What do you think about majoring in microbiology/biology? and majoring in english?

Do what you think you'll enjoy. FYI, my sister majored in Microbiology, she works at a hospital as a Lab Tech. She's the person who tests your blood sample and generates the results for the doctors. Pretty decent salary.

apply to a college, major in education with a concentration/minor in biology, apply at a school after graduating, get job, have a nice life!

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

Hey its a vry good field.Thr is more demand n less professionals  in this field, ull have a vry good scope.Im going to go for bioinformatics.Best of luck.

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, including unicellular (single-celled) eukaryotes and prokaryotes, fungi, and viruseses. Today, most of the work in microbiology is done using methods from biochemistry and genetics. It is also related to pathology, as many microorganisms are pathogens.\n\npharmaceutical, food, and personal care industries

That depends entirely on what you major in. I have people I studied with who are working as medical researchers, pharmacuetical salesmen, epidemiologists, botanists, zoologists, marine biologists, aquaculturists, ecologists and horticulturists.\n\nIt really does depend what you study and where. Biology is a very, very broad field.

I was a psych major and I found taking an elective in an area I found interesting, such as languages and arts, was a relief from the strenuous required courses. I hope this helps and Good Luck!

it depends on what your major is...but i would go with social science, it's broad and sounds interesting.

Yes. You wouldn't have to major in communications to teach speech. Maybe you should look into an Education Major with emphasis in Theater and English and a minor in Music, or a Theater Major with a Minor in English Education and Music? You could do school for Theater and minor in Music and focus on that, and then do Education/English stuff later?

Bio is a tough major--many students are pre-med & many change their major from bio.  You have to study alot of math, physics & chemistry.  IF YOU CAN GO TO A SMALLER UNIVERSITY.  At the large universities the classes are very large (300+) & very competitive.  No degree will be any good if you don't have a good GPA.\n\nIf you like anatomy, consider kinesiology or physical therapy.  \n\nAlso, there's not alot of "biology" classes w/ a bio major.  Here's one as an example:\nhttp://www.temple.edu/bulletin/Academic_programs/schools_colleges/cst/programs/biology/cst_biology.shtm#major_bs\n\nHere's a link to "what can you do with this major" so you can check them all out.\nhttp://www.temple.edu/careerdev/Student_MajorInfo.htm\n\nGood luck.  Don't major in biology unless you are ready to be very devoted to your studies.

I think you will have to learn to like it.  There are a lot of required Biology units in Med school.

Biology or Chemistry or a devoted pre-med program as offered by some schools.  Pre-med isn't so much a major as a set of courses recommended by the AMA - it includes general Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, Organic Chemistry, Calculus and higher level electives in chemistry and/or biology, as well as courses in literature and writing.\n\nYou might also consider taking a course in Latin - any number of med students say that it either did help them or that they wish they had taken one.  It's not essential, but given the amount of Latin used in medical terminology, at least being familiar with the language will make studying and your recognition of terms easier.  Some universities offer Latin for Pre-meds or something similar - I think that it's less about grammar and more about vocabulary.

I am currently a senior with Biochemistry as my major, with hopes of continuing on and getting my Ph.D in that field.\n\n1) I would say that the amount of time required to study for each class will vary depending on your specific abilities, and level of the course which you are taking. It does require a lot of studying, because like other natural sciences you not only have to memorize a great deal of information (structures, mechanims, formulas, techniques) but learn how to apply them. If I would have to give an estimate it would be around 2 hours of studying per credit hour per week regularly, and increase this to 4 as exams get closer.\n\n2) Biochemistry is a topic that touches all parts of the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) and because of this there is a good deal of dependence on mathematics. At my university you have to take differential and integral calculus, and they strongly recommend Analytical Geometry and Calculus III. This is because courses such as Physical Chemistry, and Advanced Analytical require an understanding of partial derivatives and differential equations. \n\n3) Curves have been more present in my chemistry classes, than in my biology, physics, and math classes. It all depends on the teacher, and how they outline the grading. \n\n4) Biochemistry is a competitive field and good major because the knowledge you will learn is applicable to so many fields. Structural biology, medicine, biotechnology, are just a few of the fields that this major can lead you into. \n\nIn addition, I would like to suggest that you get involved at your university by doing some research with a faculty member. This will not only enhance your understanding of the subject, but may also guide you towards a future in the field.

I always hated English when I was in school and never had a grade higher than a C+.  Now people at work come to me so I can edit their work.  I think it is important to take English as well as your Math and Science classes.

Most people I know who went to medical school majored in biology, chem, psychology, or biomedical enginnering. It's probably easier since what you're studying overlaps with medicine, obviously. However, I'm sure there have been others who majored in English, but ended up applying to medical school. You just have to find room in your schedule to fit those classes.  Most students prepare and take their MCATs during their junior year. Also, I think it's a good idea to volunteer in the hospital and shadow a doctor. It shows how much you want to be a doctor. Also, grades are very important, so study hard, and get excellent letters of recommendation from professors who know you personally.

You might major in communications, English, drama or journalism, although people who wirte sitcoms had all sorts of college majors. Consider choosing a field which genuinely interest you.

You might start with a course in English grammar, spelling and punctuation.\n\nA BA program generally requires a two foreign language courses (6 credits) but gives you added flexibility regarding your areas of study. A BS program is more analytical and geared toward professional application.
