Grad school in chemistry will likele pay for itself - you will be in demand to teach undergrads - as long as you don't mind eating beans and store-brand macaroni and cheese for four years. Be prepared, though, to study harder than you now dream possible when you get to the actual biochemistry courses. And they'll make you take calculus and probably beyond, though you'll likely never use it.
