      There are a lot of options. A friend of mine did biochemistry and is now training to be a dentist!

      Careers involving a biochemistry degree directly can be (examples):
      Biomedical scientist
      Clinical biochemist
      Clinical research associate
      Forensic scientist
      University lecturer
      Research scientist (life sciences)
      Toxicologist
      And careers where the degree could be useful but not necessarily used include:
      Chartered accountant
      Health and safety inspector
      Patent examiner
      Science writer
      Science degrees can open a lot of doors outside of science as it is such a well respected degree choice 🙂
