How would you like to examine physical properties of a wide array of different animals? Not only that but also research the processes of many organisms? If this sounds exciting, then biochemical engineering is the best career choice for you! Biochemists find many amazing things. For example, a biochemist discovered that increased flexing of a certain pelvic muscle helps to stimulate the activity in your brain. If you wanted a great job like this college is not always required. You can get internships with companies.
In these internships you help out fellow scientist in there everyday duties. That can lead to self employed jobs which you control the experiments and do what you please. But this doesn’t happen often, most of the time you will need to go to college for at least two years for your bachelor’s degree. Studies at Rutger’s University for Chemistry include general chemistry for engineers, introduction to computers for engineers, engineering lectures, calculus, and physics.
After you finish college the money will be rollin’ in. Biochemical engineers in Wisconsin make anywhere between $38,873 and $47,403 per year. For example there is a job in Madison as a product evaluation specialist for a prominent biotechnology firm. They evaluate the operation of new products and their effects. Now you see that this is a very fun, exciting, and promising job.
I would recommend seeing your guidance councilor to see what local colleges would best suit your biochemical interests.Bibliography:Biochemistry: Protein Arrays Step Out of DNA’s Shadow!,Science Service, Robert F.; 9-8-2000http://sol.rutgets.edu/Web2000/biochem.htmlwww.salary.comwww.biochemicalengineering.com
