What sort of science or health related bachelor degree should I do to be able to get a job at the end of a 3-4 years? I have been looking at various science majors but they seem to have poor rates of people actually getting jobs without doing a few years of postgrad.
In this country I can't fully support myself unless I work full time which would likely mean not enough study time unless I'm in a phd program or something. The phd programs I have been looking at might just pay enough to scrape by but I don't think I have very good chances of getting in given the high competition.
The thought of spending four years on a difficult degree and then making less than people who just got a job at Burger King terrifies me.
A job is never guaranteed at the end of a degree. However, nursing or midwifery or something of the like are always going to be in demand.
Statistics.
I don't know too many unemployed statisticians.

Nursing is about it friend. I graduate this May with Biochem bachelors and you're completely right. Jobs pay shit. But don't be discouraged for PhD program. I'm going to be applying next year with 3.2 GPA and 3000 lab hours, plus a few publishings. My PI says I have an okay chance and will eventually get in somewhere if I put enough effort in. Plus half the grad students in my department didn't have superior stats going in. My school ain't great but you can get a PhD if you really want to OP.

The mathematics seems a bit too intense for those even if I am doing a science degree.

Could you tell me a bit more about your PhD program and what you did in your degree? How did you get 3000 lab hours and what exactly were you doing? Does your PhD program pay enough to live off of?
