Another approach is to find out what else interests you. For instance if you have excellent grammar and composition skills, you can blend that with almost any degree as a technical writer. If on the other hand you also really like programming, a programmer who can follow the logic of the people they work with is gold. As a lab, would you rather higher a database programmer who can put together the whole project from a meeting or two and your notes, or someone that has to call you four times a day and still delvers late since he had to start over twice.
I’m not trying to talk you out of pursuing science, but suggest ways that keep your future paths open. Even if you seldom or never use any of those secondary skills, having them will help you stand out over other applicants.
