English IV - My future job

 Hello Everyone!

One of the advantages of studying biochemistry is that it has a very diverse and large occupational field in exact sciences, from teaching to research. However, in Chile, not all the areas covered by biochemistry are well funded and supported enough to dedicate oneself exclusively to this field.

Given this, in the future I would like to work in a clinical laboratory specializing in hematology, virology or immunology, perhaps a very ambitious goal, but it would be very nice to achieve it. At the same time, such a job would allow me the possibility to work and travel to different countries, since science is unique and global, therefore, the advances that are being made in Chile can be of great use in another country and vice versa.

Finally, and about salary, the health area is one of the best paid in comparison to the areas of research and teaching. According to data from the website mifuturo.cl, it has an employability rate of 69.3% in the first year after graduation and 66.2% in the second year after graduation, but there is no record of income. However, according to the cursando.cl website, the salary of a biochemist in the fourth year of graduation is between $900,000 and $1,200,000. However, it should be noted that it depends a lot on the area in which the professional specializes and where he or she works. Personally, I would have no problem earning that salary.
