Biomechanics and chemistry?
Lets face it... I'm horrible at chemistry, but I really want to go through med school. I don't want to become an internist or anything and may consider chiropractic but what I really wanna go into is Biomechanics. I was wondering how much chemistry is involved in a degree of biomechanics?

well...you can skip med school, and become an engineer.
I did my undergrad in chemical engineering, and am doing my masters in Biomechanics. That way, you'll end up being a Biomechanical Engineer.
(Not a bad career-move).
On the other hand, the chemistry they have in med school is pretty much basic stuff. In other departments, the more heavy stuff is involved.
From the interests you listed, I would definatly say don't go into any engineering field. Engineering has nothing to do with researching or practicing in the fields of medicine. Engineers, especially chemical engineers, deal more with process and production. That being said, the job market for ChE is very good right now! I had a job a full semester before I graduated last May and I'm making real good money! : )
