Hi, I'm a college junior with a biochemistry major and I am trying to figure out what to do after college. I would like to go into pharmaceuticals and or other areas of research and development. I know there are a lot of jobs right out of college such as bench chemists, but I've heard that its just like slave labor and it is better to get your PhD. I would like to enter graduate school and get my PhD in biochemistry right after college, but I've been hearing sometimes its harder to get an industry job when you have a PhD because you cost too much or you are a threat to the PhDs already established in that particular company. What is your opinion?
