I plan on going into the health field, but I'd like to get a bachelor's degree in something that won't be worthless by itself. What would you recommend?
Biology?
Chemistry?
Biochemistry?
Micro Biology?
Physiology?
Zoology?
Nutrition?

You can go into research, teaching, pharmaceutical sales, medical school, or go into the military if it gets really hairy as an officer with less chance of finding yourself in a hot place with lots of sand and hearing
"BOOOOOOOOOM!" regularly (i.e. you can help design the wee beasties that will likely REALLY solve the War on Terror).
Load the deck for yourself, give yourself some options
You should know what you like after you take a few intro classes. If you like science then by all means go with that. But why don't you make yourself unique and double major with a science and economics or Spanish? If you really want to boost your chances double major with Spanish or just major in Spanish. Language classes are GPA boosters anyway. Otherwise you'll just be like all the other applicants (a typical applicant: Pick me I volunteered at the hospital for x years and did a research project). Expand your mind and enjoy the journey.
Chemistry or biochemistry are good ones.

SPANISH??? Why not ENGLISH???
You can take a lot of intro courses which can lead you to any of those majors. You could probably wait until after your 3rd or 4th semester to decide for sure.
I'd say that most science degrees really require some grad work to be worth much. None of these programs (except maybe zoology, I didn't even know schools offered degrees in it) would be worthless on their own, but all would be greatly improved with at least a masters degree. If I had to pick, I'd say biochem would be the best, but as long as you get in the basics (16 credits of chem, 8+ physics, 8+ bio) you'll be good for med school and many grad schools.

I don't know? Why not? If he/she likes English, then by all means do that. I'm just saying that you have to make yourself unique. Most people in this country speak English already. The original poster speaks English already. Spanish speakers are a large part of the US population. If this person wants to work in health, speaking their language can help when you're giving them treatment.
well physiology would help if you want to go into nursing, PT, anything that envolves the body. It tends to go along w. anatomy which is the study of the body and the mechanics of it. then bio is the basis of most science anyways. hope that helps.
