So long story short I am fascinates by origins sciences, evolution, molecular processes that dictate life and what needs to happen to build new structures/proteins / etc etc. I am just finishing my gen eds associate degree and will begin my bachelors in biochemistry next year. I desperately wanted to study molecular biology but there is no way I could move and there are no universities within realistic driving distance that offer it.I'm wondering then, how different are these fields really? I am not sure what I even what to do specifically yet but I would love to study evolution in some way. I suppose the likely choice would then be something that worked with molecular processes? If I did end up with a ba in biochem how difficult is it then to acquire a ba in molecular biology ? Im assuming it would just be another 2 years minus the classes I took for biochem that overlap with molecular bio? I guess overall I'm just kind of confused. Are there instances in which a biochemist may work with genes/epigenetic information at all or evolutionary processes? Not really sure what to do. How respected is someone say in biochemistry who has a ba but not a masters or PhD? Are they even looked at in scientific literature ? Ideally I think I would have a ba in biochem and then start working towards a PhD in molecular biology. This could be 10 years before I finish though and I'm really not sure what to do. Maybe just pursue a PhD in biochem. Ah sorry I'm just rambling . anyone have any thoughts or advice?Apologies in advance for typos, using a phone
