Answer 1

Graphic design will offer you more flexibility. You could work in print, online, advertising, etc. You will have the opportunity to work for small studios or large corporate companies depending on your interest. Small studios, you maybe able to focus on smaller more creative artistic project. Or if your passion is corporate identity, brand, environmental graphics a larger studio or corporate job may be a good fit. And as graphic designer, you could always contract, which can often be fairly lucrative.

Printing making could be a skill you learn as a graphic designer. And you could always do that on the side and build that business.

You need to be passionate about what you do however. See if you can try a entry level graphic design and printmaking class how passionate about are about each. Best wishes.

Answer 3

hmmm... If I were to choose, I will go for double major in Biology and Chemistry. If there's a double major for Biology and Biochemistry - better. You don't need indepth Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry if you want immunology/infectious diseases/genetics. You would want Zoology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Biotechnology courses.

Answer 4

You can work for a newspaper or magazine. Or you can work for a printing shop. I would take courses towards a well rounded journalistic/graphic design/printing career, then you should have plenty of opportunities to find work you will enjoy.
