What should I major if I want to go into pharmaceutical research or cosmetic research company?

I am deciding what to major, since I want to have a career in a science research company or cosmetic research company? Which one suits better, chemistry or biology?

Definitely chemistry or chemical engineering. I am an intern at a pharmaceutical company now. It really helps to get a doctorate in chemistry as well. Otherwise with a bachelors or master’s you will just be doing experiments in the lab while the PhD chemist does all the “brain” work.

For cosmetics, chemistry. You aren’t making skin–you’re making stuff to put on skin.

For science research, either one or even ecology, physics or computer science. If geothermal power gets going, geology could be an up-and-comer.
