Life science jobs can be exciting for people who have the aptitude for them. Life science jobs are among the very best science jobs that are out there right now.

So, biochemistry jobs in science driven industries are some of the very best in science research jobs that you're going to find. Biochemist jobs deal with researching and developing products from those chemical processes that create, sustain, or further organic life. This is one of the hottest fields in all of science and technology. The biochemist researches and works with proteins (including enzymes), carbohydrates (including simple sugars and large polysaccharides), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), minerals, vitamins, lipids, and hormones. The research results of studying these things have wide-ranging applications in business, industry, and higher education.

Biochemistry and the life science jobs comprise a vast field of endeavor which yields an interesting and varied career. The best life science jobs offer one of a kind opportunities to bring together advanced practical skills, liaisoning with clinicians about patients, management capabilities, outside-the-box thinking, and research & development. If you have an interest in science and medicine and would be attracted to a well-structured career pathway and higher than average personal and professional responsibility, and you are willing to do a bit of hard work that could very well lead you into a fulfilling and lucrative life sciences consultant job, then biochemistry jobs are among the very best science jobs for you to get involved in.



Consider the testimony of one current university student, Kaitlin Reilly, who attends Muhlenberg College.

"I decided to pursue the interdisciplinary major Biochemistry because of the many advantages the major presented to me. The courses required for a Biochemistry major not only help me to better understand the metabolic processes of the human body, but also are teaching me how to use modern biochemical laboratory techniques to study some of those processes. Though my future plans involve applying to medical school, I am very interested in doing research during my undergraduate studies. Thus far, I have worked on two different projects [involving] tyrosine hydroxylase overexpression and the role of the LmbF enzyme in the Lincomycin biosynthetic pathway. The various research techniques taught throughout the biochemistry major not only teach key procedures needed for careers in almost any area of research, but they also show prospective graduate and medical schools that you can grasp difficult and elaborate procedures and concepts. These attributes, along with my mutual fascination for biology and chemistry led me to declare a Biochemistry Major," Reilly says.

Life science jobs and science jobs in general can be very fulfilling personally, and they can pay some very good money.

Science jobs average $71,000 in annual pay. This is 13% higher than the average salary for all jobs nationwide.

Life science jobs in particular average $74,000 in annual average pay. This rate of pay is 17% higher than the average salary for all jobs nationwide.

Science research jobs average $62,000 per year in pay. Now in all actuality, these are 1% lower than the national average when all jobs are considered. These are the jobs, however, which lead to higher paying scientific jobs.

Of course, to get jobs in science, people need to have a certain amount of education. Anyone who wants to get a good science job will need to have a mixture of collegiate level education and experience. Therefore, those who want to land the best science jobs will need to start out in entry level science positions of some kind. Also, you have to remember that the higher the degree, the higher the entry level position. Also, it's possible to get a good paying science job after only about six months work experience if you have at least an MS degree, which these days every aspiring scientist probably should aim for anyway.

These better paying science jobs that you can get with only minimal work experience and the right degree don't necessarily have to be in the laboratory, either. You can get science jobs in the field or even in an office setting. Many young scientists find these jobs a lot more interesting than those that would be mainly in the laboratory.

Young scientists should look to private industry and pay attention to what is big in technological and industrial advancement to make decisions about what jobs they want to go after. For instance, jobs in the pharmaceutical industry or jobs working with crop genetic engineering will offer a great many opportunities to the aspiring scientist, and these will routinely pay better than something like a government science job. For the majority of people, they will be more interesting as well.

Those with an interest in science should not, therefore, believe that they have to take a relatively low-paying job. Our society values the sciences, even if the average person seems fairly clueless about science. Private industry, the military, and law enforcement all have great need of scientists. Biochemistry jobs and life science jobs will continue to be among the biggest science jobs for the foreseeable future. And, for those who go on to get their PhD, colleges and universities will always have a need to hire science professors.
