If you were to have only a Bachelor's degree in a Science, which one would give the most potential for a decent job?

I'm looking at transferring to Chemistry, but I like Physics more (then again, I'm still only at introductory level). I'm just looking at possibilities should I fail to move into co-op pharmacology or professional schools.

Enjoy studying the 9th subject of this list. Enjoy trying to get a job that doesn't pay shit.

Chemistry offers a good chance to work in a lot of fields, physics is more a research degree without an engineering background, Computer Science is also viable for a pile of new jobs, and biology always has the possibility of moving to pre-med/etc.

This. Chemical engineering, especially if you enjoy the mechanics of physics over the electricity.

Say I did not want to go to engineering? Too late to go into it now, I'm already a freshman, and I would be in engineering already if I really wanted to go into that.

I'm more interested in making medicine and the medical field, but I also like being all analytical (Physics and Math).

If you don't intend on at least striving for a master's you might as well go stright into employment from high school

A lot of drug companies are offshoring their chemist to (where else?) China. Physics isn't any better.

Wall Street used to hire more Physics and Math PHDs than anybody else. They used them to design innovative financial products, up until 2008. Now, they're dumping them left and right.

Sorta hard to offload/outsource chemists that do QA onsite, know a fair number of people that do work for pipelines and processing factories that are working 10-20+ hours of overtime a week right now because there isn't enough qualified people to do their job.

Most of the people getting laid off basically amounts to trimming the fat for a lot of companies, there is a lot of wasted man-hours of morons who only work half(if that) of the time they are at 'work'.

Physics was never had high job potential, it was always research and a niche market.

Math majors are still fine, by the look of the local career fair. Every bank within 200 miles pretty much had a booth looking for business and math majors.
