NUS Food Science/Chemistry Degree career prospect

Hi,

Just graduated from JC here. Intend to take NUS Food Science degree but not sure if it is a wise choice. Seems not very popular, and food technologist salary outlook is not as good as other science careers (~3000; vs 5000+ for Chemist which I am also interested in)??? Also want to give USA food science degree a try, but not sure is it worth the money.

Can any current or ex-students taking NUS Food Science please give a piece of advice? Thanks :D

According to Payscale:D Guess it depends on what kind of chemist? Medicinal chemist seems to be high in demand (correct me if im wrong)
Pharmaceutical (or medicinal) thought is pharma degree?

Personally I feel that if you intend to enrol in science it's best to study a major that you will never be bored of. And also don't worry salary wise - in general unless you're a scholar, most firms pay fresh grad equally because no prior work experience
