There arent any, you cant really do anything with a basic science degree. The jobs mostly involve working in a lab doing research for peanuts and they will still want a phd or masters. The employers are mostly universities, pharmaceutical, biotech, military, DuPont, 3M, etc. Depending on how much you sell your soul will determine how decent the pay is. The highest paying jobs will be working for a oil company or a defense contractor or something like that.

Basic science degree is just a stepping stone to an advanced science degree which also doesnt really have any good job prospects, or some type of medical degree. Figure out what job you want and then get the required degree, dont get a degree hoping there will be jobs when you get out, there wont be.

If you're considering microbiology or biochemistry, I implore you to the maximum power that an anonymous lefty poster can effect your life to go into medical laboratory scientist/technician instead of getting a standard degree. I have a master's in biochem, it doesn't do shit for me, and people in hospitals make significantly more. If you do stick with micro or biochem, get an internship early and do research at a university. Just don't go into the private sector, this shit sucks my pee pee dick.

As a chemist (hopefully phd within next year) I would say chemistry is the best bet as it gives you lab experience which is most important for jobs and is the most flexible if your interests change. Since its so interdisciplinary with computation bio materials chem ect. which are all important to future prospects. but as previous posters said if you do not want to be lab monkey just running mindless gcs i would say a higher degree is somewhat necessary. if you can find a phd program that includes a masters on the way like mine does you can drop out after obtaining a masters while getting paid the entire time with a stipend rather than going into debt, like some of friends in my program did.
