i'm in last year of high school and it's time to decide a career path. I'm mostly into biology and chemistry.

can anyone of you tell about the jobs i could get in these fields. i already know some which interest me such as biotechnology, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, biochemistry. are there more other jobs? i was thinking about genetics.

is there any site where i could get some info about these jobs, what they really consist of, what are the average salaries,...

thank you

From the list: http://www.bls.gov/oco/cg/cgs009.htm

I just searched up "biochemistry" on the site, and it gave out a list of jobs which included the keyword. The second link is just one of the search results that came out. You should try the keywords in your post and see what comes up.
