I love Biochemistry, it's my life. I don't mind if I have to wait long hours or repeat experiments and to be honest those are the attributes a true scientist should possess. There is no option on whether to study Biochemistry or not because without it no one would understand what happens in living systems. That is say medicine whether human or animal, production of drugs, cosmetics and what have you wouldn't make much sense. Also, there products that are not directly administered to the body yet, there effects on the body can only be explained by biochemical methods. So, a 100 and more reasons to study Biochemistry. Oh! Also show some respect for biochemists that have laboured to come up with your everyday products and drugs also.
I just think the same as you. I like to study, is not a problem for me work and doing a MSc, i really want to have a job that provides me do something to help in that field of sciences.
Its incredibly helpful to have someone explain the cons of this major specifically. I don't have problems with learning by heart or patience, but I just get scared that what if I can't handle it etc etc. But that's another reason I want a tough major, need to face this fear. I know I can do it, just need more guts ig.
Its ab absolutely doable major, and you are surrounded by people with the same fears and doubts and you go with them through the more difficult times. Dont worry about it, if you want it, go for it!
I'm a bit confused. I've spent this week trying to find the best possible course for me when I go to college and I'm still in Grade 11. I want to choose BioChemistry after watching your video. I'll try to learn more about BioChemistry to see if it is worth it or very cool.
Thank you for your comment. Try to look for some videos which show you how a lab looks like and what your tasks more or less will be. Of course there are many possibilities after the degree but mostly you land in the lab. Maybe that will help with your decision 👍
This is strange. Becuase if you do not want. 1. Learn things. 2. Do the lab to know the trade. 3. Cannot accept failure. 4. Do not want learn complex things. 5. Study for long years to get Msc or Phd I do not know what you will be good for? Try baseball.. I does not require much of the above.
Appreciate your honesty, it really helps to hear other perspectives as well😅 Did you ever consider any other courses similar to biochem, like biomedical sciences?
Hey Ana, thanks a lot! Yeah I thought about e.g. biomedicine as well but unfortuantely I was not taken by those universities who offered it. But if I would have been taken, I think I would have gone for biomedicine 😄
This video made me want to study biochem even more lol. I really love lab works and studying. The only problem is that there are no schools that teaches biochem in my location 😭😭😭 i think I really need to move
thanks for the video its really informative im actually majoring in chemistry soon! was trying to learn about the different branches of chemistry and trying to figure out what ill like lol mostly by reading and watching vids but currently i find organic chemistry especially synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry the most interesting! but i don't know didn't start yet but pretty soon 😅
i have a friend from a wealthy family. He was set to take over the family business one day. His family taught him the ins and outs of finance and running the business. He eventually decided to study biochemistry. Why? Not because of potential job prospects but because he was simply fascinated by it. most people i know in stem feilds don't share his level of enthusiasm for the sciences.
Thank you for this video! I was planning on studying biochemistry as its pretty much combining two of my favorite subjects in one almost, but now i just feel iffy... I'm not sure if i can get a job even
I studied biochemistry and I love it so much , it's so beautiful Now I'm a 25 years old forensic analyst in the DNA department, biochemistry gives you so many options, Good luck 👍🏻❤
Good day, what advice would you give someone who is weak in chemistry, but still wants to study Biochemistry? I am also not that good at Maths and Physics, and I'm scared of failing.
If u are scared of failing u have to think if science in general is smth for you, cuz u fail basically all the time, it never functions in the first try. Biochemistry I would advice u cuz u can specialize yourself later into medicial subjects. Biomed is also interessting check that out. Maybe biotech as well. Greetings Viktor
I'm not enjoying chemistry in biochemistry. Biochemistry is interesting but now I'm confused. I love biology but i don't like microorganisms much. I have a option to switch my major from Biochemistry to microbiology. I'm not sure if i should change it.
@@LilyMendoza19Hello. i changed my major. Now I'm studying microbiology which is a biology related subject. I used to major in biochemistry. It was interesting but hard for me since I'm not that good at chemistry. I was confused to change my major so i asked here.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks I will go to college after 2 years but I prefer to know more about different fields that I would like to study and I think biochemistry is one of them...
anytime i saw a new low level coworker in the office (software firm), atleast 1/8th of them were biochem majors in university who graduated (some w/ honors). It's not worth taking at university; the chances are that it won't make you any money back.
Yes but if you actually make it in biochem then it’s very rewarding, anyone can graduate in anything, it’s actually going deeper and making it in that field which makes it worth while and Impressive
I am a physicist and I hate biochemistry (I had to work in this field for a while). The mostly painful for me, as a physicist, is that there is not much logic behind biochemistry (learning 'by heart') and hardly repeatable experiments.
Absolute reason number 1 is interest. If you dont care how cells/organisms funtion on a macromolecular level then biochemistry should definitely be not your choice. And for me number 2 is the lab work and what you actually will do after u have the degree. Many people I know loved the theoretical parts nur hated the constantly same work. Greeting Vitality
haha I am certainly struggling with all the enzymes. It is just hard to understand what is actually going on. This is my first semester in the field, and still unsure if I wanna pursue a phd after I grad in biochem or go to med school. Dad says become a doctor like myself, I say, "I wanna go to chicago and get a PhD." However, I also want to get a good salary eventually, but am I going to become a brilliant biochemist even after struggling with the names of the enzymes? haha
I had choice to study micro, nutrition, chemistry, etc but I chose biochemistry now I'm regret for choosing this as it is Soo hard .. and Soo difficult to memorize
As a Biochemist, and someone eat a particular food or a mix, and they eyes turn red and they have a headache, would u be able to explain the reactions that occur that resulted in such symptoms?
That's a great thumbnail lmao. I'm going to take my biochem final I thought this class would be easy cause it's like ochem but it keeps getting more dense and involved. The topic I find interesting though and drives me. P Chem, Quant analysis and biochem oh my!
I’m confused whether to study biochemical engineering or biomedical engineering !! I do will in science in general I’m interested in math , and how biology and chemistry complete each other. I do very well in physics and machines BUT I don’t know if I will be interested working with them in the future more than biochemistry. But I also know that maybe biomedical engineering is a field that include the biochemistry too So I don’t know Any idea what should I choose
You forgot the most important fact about the industry : Erooms Law... or in other words. the terminal decline of this industry as research costs continue to double every 9 years and productivity of researchers continues to decline. The future for scientist looks very bleak especially since most of the world is aging. As the USA and UK population ages they usually spend less and are less likely to invest their retirement savings into risky businesses like sciences.
Legendary students see this; even they're not in 8th standard 😅🤘if same; like pz And Now I don't know which biological field i should choose 0_o (in future)
I've a bachelor in chemistry. Now I was thinking to do masters in biochemistry instead of chemistry. Can you give me any advice Mainly on job opportunities etc in Chemistry and biochemistry
tbh, biochemistry is like baby Organic Chem 2. I got an A on my first exam with only 2days worth of studying. 😂, but I still have exam 2 and final, and I have to put more effort this time to get an A.
I finished my grade 12 and I am going to do BSC IN BIOCHEM & MICROBIOLOGY in SA...am afraid that I will end up unemployed..what types of job does this degree offer?.
hi , i just did my gcse and a levels , i am very poor in maths so would you recommend me to do bsc bio chemistry even if i have poor maths as i saw maths part of curriculum in bsc bio chem
Hey man, yes thats no problem, math is only a very small part of it. Dont worry about it , I would recommend you still to do it, if your Chemistry was good Greetings Vitality
What a whiner! Dude, if you’re not happy on your current path you should pick a new one. I’m a biochem major, I love it. I make mistakes in research, constantly. I’m always repeating assays. The excitement of making a new discovery and being a part of something bigger than myself outweighs any negative feelings I may have about those long hours in the lab. If you’re interested in biochem I dare say many of the things he speaks about in this video are not accurate and could be linked to his poor fit to this field. Go for it!
The only whiner I can see here is you! I am a biochem PhD student right now working on Leucemia - I know what I am talking about. Back to your undergrad program!
Don't worry, there are plenty of options for you and many universities offer many specialities (eg oncology). Take what you really find interesting and go for it! 🔥
I really feel that video xD best biochemist in town

I can totally understand that. If u really like BC its definitely fun and interesting to study. 💪🏼
Welp, at least the military likes STEM degrees. I stopped having an interest in grad school after junior year. Only one semester to go!

Puuuh thats a difficult one 😄 subjectively, I would choose biomed cuz Ithe chemistry part is much less than in biochem

Actually many physicist hate it. Heard it already quite often

Haha dont worry about enzymes man. Its like 0.1 % of BC. Memorizing is certainly a thing but its doable!
I'm doing my Masters in Biochemistry and I'm still rethinking 😂
Jk I love what I study
Thank you man! Really helpful
I had choice to study micro, nutrition, chemistry, etc but I chose biochemistry now I'm regret for choosing this as it is Soo hard .. and Soo difficult to memorize
Why did u say some one should not study it if the person wish to study it what will happen
As a Biochemist, and someone eat a particular food or a mix, and they eyes turn red and they have a headache, would u be able to explain the reactions that occur that resulted in such symptoms?
I dont quite understand what you mean. I mean, it depends what you eat, if its spicy, allergy, etc.
Greetings Viktor
Thank u so much I'm also Biochemistry student this video motivate to me
It's interesting but.. Exam questions. Fuck. 😅😂
Im doing Dual major Math and Biochemistry
I have a BS in Biochem. Definitely not easy. But do enjoy some of the classes.
Hi Victor...great explanations of all I have exprienced till now
Exactly true😂
Hi Katy! Nice to see you here 😄😊
Yeah maybe I should add some other 5, there are more than enough 😂
I thought u were laying down
That's a great thumbnail lmao. I'm going to take my biochem final I thought this class would be easy cause it's like ochem but it keeps getting more dense and involved. The topic I find interesting though and drives me. P Chem, Quant analysis and biochem oh my!
Yeeeeah had all these courses as well and OC indeed is related, but I would say biochem is another level!
Good luck! 🙏🏼
I'm a biochemist and I'm a top ranker😍😍😍
hi can u atleast give me ideas about biochemist
I’m confused whether to study biochemical engineering or biomedical engineering !!
I do will in science in general
I’m interested in math , and how biology and chemistry complete each other.
I do very well in physics and machines BUT I don’t know if I will be interested working with them in the future more than biochemistry.
But I also know that maybe biomedical engineering is a field that include the biochemistry too
So I don’t know
Any idea what should I choose
I m an undergraduate student of Biochemistry what will my plan after my graduation? I m little bit confused
Many options: masters, doctorade/PhD, industry.. check some reviews online, but with biochemistry you wont do smth wrong 🙌🏼
Thank you so much.. ! My Cgpa is also pretty good enough.. wish me luck and best wishes to you too

What to do after Bachlor in Biochemistry
Depends on you actually. Industry (Work) or Master (Education) which I highly recommend!
While you are waiting your experiment, you just can do whatever you want? ( read books, watch tv?)
You got paid during waiting?
Yes man 💪🏼 but usually you fill the times with planing or doing other experiments haha.
And yes, of course u get paid cuz its part of the job.
Legendary students see this; even they're not in 8th standard 😅🤘if same; like pz
And
Now I don't know which biological field i should choose 0_o
(in future)
I've a bachelor in chemistry. Now I was thinking to do masters in biochemistry instead of chemistry. Can you give me any advice Mainly on job opportunities etc in Chemistry and biochemistry
There are plenty: from teacher to researcher. Check out in google they for sure have more job possibilities to tell you than me.
🧠The human brain- can hold enough information to fill the grand canyon with books 40+ times. 🤔
Can u study biochemistry without doing the lab work??
I don't think so 🧬🔬
Pls put more vedios on biochemistry about job opportunities in aboard
Hey thank you so much 😊👍
tbh, biochemistry is like baby Organic Chem 2. I got an A on my first exam with only 2days worth of studying. 😂, but I still have exam 2 and final, and I have to put more effort this time to get an A.
I finished my grade 12 and I am going to do BSC IN BIOCHEM & MICROBIOLOGY in SA...am afraid that I will end up unemployed..what types of job does this degree offer?.
I talk about the job chances at the end of the video check it out. But job possibilites are endless.
All intricate subjects require a lot of learning (memorizing) new things. You don’t want your brain surgeon not remembering the anatomy, opps
Y didn't u show me before now😭
is a degree in genetics better??...in terms of scope and pay
Back to learn bro
hi , i just did my gcse and a levels , i am very poor in maths so would you recommend me to do bsc bio chemistry even if i have poor maths as i saw maths part of curriculum in bsc bio chem
Hey man, yes thats no problem, math is only a very small part of it. Dont worry about it , I would recommend you still to do it, if your Chemistry was good
Greetings Vitality
In maths, You only need to learn how to make molar or molal solutions of the lab
5:26 - Look at this roadmap of biochemistry, and you will understand is it yours or not.
Indeeeeed my friend!
Biochemostry is headache.... I wouldn't have applied for my masters. We all end up in the classroom!
Am doing biochemistry to get to medical school
Great idea! 💪🏼
Ich bin gerade in meiner Klausurenphase an und frage mich, warum tue ich mir den Scheiß eigentlich an :D
Kenne ich zu gut 🤣
Is biochem a good degree for doing a Msc in biotech ?
Definitely! But depends on the courses u choose I guess.
HELLO SIR I JUST COMPLETED MY MASTERS IN MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
PLZ GUIDE ME FUTHER
