Get a job for a year or two. It will help you land an admission into a better grad School if you choose to do so. You'll also have some money to enjoy. Good luck

time is tough these days. bachelor's degree with bio-degree(eps for immigrant) won't go well on a long term-basis. apply for opt. during this time. look for professional, can do some ghante wala job to make the living and also prepare for the grad school. grad school has been the necessity these days. good in terms of long term career. either get a master's degree or phd.
good luck

Finish your chemistry degree. A lot more jobs available for Chem majors. Then if you want to do grad school, your company may pay for it too. Diversify your options. B.S. in biology degree is useless.

cupchor, stop comparing your salary to what people in IT or business earn. you should never had joined a bio or even chem program if you wanted to make big money as soon as you start a job. you do science primarily because you have the passion. money ?? well, there'll be enough to live a good life in the beginning - way better than undergrad days. and with time you'll earn more money as well as recognition.
like others, I'd also suggest you to get that chemistry major done, unless you're interested more in biology and have some research experiences to back up your gradschool application. and yes, apply for OPT three months before you graduate so that you can maintain your status until you get into a grad program or get an employer to sponsor work visa.
if you have no or very less research experience, start working in a lab and get some experience before you graduate. either chem or bio, doesn't really matter but follow your interests and consider what program you'd join as a graduate student
