Even a medical doctor can’t do without biochemistry, hence, biochemistry is the best to study than microbiology…is probably more lucrative than microbiology.

If you want to be a medical professional and can’t make it into medicine, then my candid opinion is study a more marketable course like Nursing, Medical Radiography or Med lab science. It will make your life easier.

Biochemistry is better than microbiology because it stands a greater chance of getting jobs especially in oil companies like Chevron, Shell and Mobil

Both biochemistry and microbiology are marketable courses in the society and they are equally important…none is better than the other but I learnt microbiologist are easier to get jobs than biochemists

Pls I’m not against any course here
Only ranted them base on where one can find work here in Nigerian
Both microbiologist and biochemist can work in industries, research institutions, school lab and the rest you can mention. So one isn’t better than the other okay
Thinking about working in The hospital the same way microbiologist is fighting for work is same with biochemist because medical lab scientist are there and they don’t need other related field to come in.

Either you study both, you won’t still work in any licensed hospital in Nigeria.

Well, I have seen many biochemists and microbiologists but microbiologists seem to be doing better financially than the biochemists….many of the microbiologists I know are working in Nigerian breweries and other bottling companies.
