5 Reasons Why You Should NOT Study Biochemistry 🔬

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 really feel that video xD best biochemist in town

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.

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.

My wife is in her first year of biochemistry. She’s gonna make it for sure.

[darkmage]

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 😅

[dionel]

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.

[Ana-fhct]

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?

[pcalculas]

I am physics professor learning biochemistry .... Very Helpful

[jillianmachamer]

Wow, this is a super host and informative video! Many thanks!

[silverbowftw]

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

[faithhills]

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.

[kaceesnow]

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?

[alexeyputin]

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

[kimmy]

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

[noorahmud]

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

[alinebras]

Yeah, I remember THAT internship just too well.
We literally spent more time in the cafeteria than in the lab. 😂

[chemiflask]

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

[fotfhkb]

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...

[qypkech]

Thank u so much I'm also Biochemistry student this video motivate to me

[kalj]

Welp, at least the military likes STEM degrees. I stopped having an interest in grad school after junior year. Only one semester to go!
