Isn't calcium hydrogen sulphite Ca(HSO3)2 better for bleaching wood or are they all pretty much the same?

I am a chemistry lover, recently found this forum, but when I tell people that I want to go and study biochemistry next year they look at me like I'm some kinda loser.They think that everyone who goes there automatically becomes a teacher.I live in Romania so maybe it's true that many would become teachers. Do I have to have connection in order to get at a research job or is this just a scare devised so I wind up in front of a PC all day, writing C++ programs?(I study at an informatics high-school) They must really hate chemistry
