You would like to study biochemistry? Here I give you 5 reasons why you should NOT. Studying biochemistry is interesting, but definitely not for everyone. It can be boring, complicated and difficult sometimes and I hope with this video I can give you some information about the downsides of a biochemical career.
This video should help you in making a decision whether biochemistry and the life as a biochemist is the right thing for you. During my studies many people dropped off saying: "That's not what I expected" and with this video I want to make you aware what you are going to experience in a bachelor/undergraduate program with some perspective into the future. This all might sound that I would recommend nobody to study biochemistry, but this is absolutely not the case. I personally don't regret that I studied it and I even did my Masters and I am going to do my PhD as well. There are enough reasons FOR biochemistry, I just want to give you a more or less realistic view what is going to await you.

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.

@najifaanjum3324 2 года назад

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.

@VitalityFitnessScience 2 года назад

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!

@googleboogle5120 3 года назад

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.

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.

@VitalityFitnessScience 3 года назад

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 👍

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.

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.

@VitalityFitnessScience 3 года назад

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 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.

Actually many physicist hate it. Heard it already quite often

@alalala132whyisthishandletaken 3 года назад

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.

@amentrison2794 3 года назад

Where are you from?

@zigzagnemesist5074 3 года назад

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

@alexeyputin4622 3 года назад

Then, what are the true reasons for not studying or major in Biochemistry?

@VitalityFitnessScience 3 года назад

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 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

@goldendiploma9865 2 года назад

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.

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!
