Everyone has talents in different areas; yours are split between biology and computers. Combine the two into a unique major—bioinformatics. You’ll use your crazy-smart skills in this rapidly expanding area to interpret the vast information provided by modern molecular biology. You’ll have an equal emphasis on computation and structure, as well as genetics (molecular biology).
As a bioinformatics major, you’ll use classroom theory and discussions to apply applications in your labs and research. Many bioinformatics graduates have gone on to work in pharmaceuticals, forensics, and with government agencies including the CDC, FBI, and NIH. Many other graduates have gone on to attend medical or graduate school, and one even started his own business. With bioinformatics, you’ll be able to read all the signs on the road to success.
