If you want to become a biochemist and you have some questions about it, you should read this article. By reading it, you will learn a lot of things, like what is it like to be a biochemist or how can you become a biochemist.
The job of biochemists consists in a lot of things. Most of the work is analyzing the consistency of abnormal cells and apply your knowledge to find what is the problem with it. However, biochemists also have to speak at scientific conferences, prepare reports based on the research they did and what they found, write scientific papers about your research and a bunch of other things.
Biochemists can work at a lot of different places. For example, some people work in hospitals and use their skills to find how to treat certain diseases but other people prefer to work in the food industry and analyze it to see the purity of it. Of course, those are just examples, there is several other places where biochemists can work.
To become a biochemist you have to do a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) so you can earn a certificate of specialization in clinical biochemistry. After that, you will have to do a fellowship in clinical biochemistry that is recognized by "l'Ordre des chimistes du Québec". Then, you have to succeed the oral and written exam of "l'Ordre des chimistes du Québec" to get your certification in clinical biochemistry.
Biochemists are making about $64/hour and $132 734/year.
Actually, except the use of some chemical substances there are not a lot of dangers. Furthermore, since biochemists are obliged to wear gloves, a lab coat and lab glasses there is very little chance that dangerous substances touches them.
There is very little chances that biochemists will be replaced by robots. Indeed, since most of the work consists in researching and teaching, robots can't replace them because they don't have those abilities. In fact, there since 2005, there are more and more positions that are opening.
As you can see biochemistry is a difficult job that requires a high degree, a lot of time, energy, and will. However, if you are passionate about it, you will probably love it.
