>>12563933I'm a physicist but I have made plenty of shit involving biology and have even worked with some of them, here is the thing;
Contrary to popular belief, you have to be good at math to contribute anything worth reading, know your logarithms, all the "fun" jobs like being a marine biologist or some sort of coyote peterson are fairly underpayed unless you're the best around (you won´t be, it's very hard) so stick with microbiology.
Be ready to learn so many diferent definitions and piece the connections together in your mind to get a better grasp of things, befriend chemists and physicists because they'll step in to make work of your hand wavings into tangible results (theres a reason why kary mullis discovered pcr and not some biologist), learn statistics and error analysis early on, maybe even some coding skills would be nice.
All in all it's not that good of a degree in my opinion unless you dive deep into microbiology and even then you'll cry yourself to sleep in gradschool because your petry dish started to grow some cheese, do a degree in chemistry and specialize in biology, that's your best bet.
