I took a degree in journalism because I was good at writing. But journalism involves more than just writing well, and by the time I'd finished the degree, I realized that newspaper journalism wasn't for me. However, journalism did teach me how to gather, synthesize, and report information in an organized, easy-to-read way -- under deadline. And I used that experience in a long career in technical writing.
So while I never worked in journalsim per se, I used the journalistic skills I learned thorughout my career.
See your college experience not only in terms of knowledge gathered, but skills acquired. What skills will you learn as an artist that can be applied throughout life. What skills will biochemistry teach you?
Moreover -- here's a thought -- what kind of skill set would you have with an art/biochemistry double major? Where might that take you?
