Of course there are alot of potential applications of molecular biology but not alot of real world and/or money making applications. If there were, the people who are way smarter than us and with more money then us would be doing them. And some of them are both in and outside of academia, George Church, Karl Deisseroth, David Baker, J. Craig and David Shaw.

Anyone can take someone else's patented idea and run a Kickstarter on it with grandiose claims and stolen pictures and make money but being truly innovative and finding people to invest or even pay attention is very difficult for someone with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry much less a Bachelors in Biology.

If someone is truly interested in Science I always recommend graduate school because in the end when you graduate you have a Ph.D. which lasts longer than even a couple hundred thousand dollars.

"""

8. Biology. A lot of bio majors think they might go to medical school someday but end up deterred by the cost, difficulty and length of study. Then they discover that a lot of others made the same decision and are competing for a limited number of lower-level research or technician jobs. A better choice of major might be biochemistry, which is more quantitative and better-aligned with jobs in the biotech or pharmaceutical industries.
