I think biochemistry covers a wider range of subjects, and probably it will be a better choice...

The breadth is not too different, overall. The perspective is, though. Biochemistry looks at the molecular processes. Microbiology does that too, with less depth, but with a broader view on the physiological and ecological impact of said processes. I.e. it provides a biological context.

At this point you may as well choose according to interest, unless you already know what your dream job is.

demand is something, what you love doing is another. if you prefer biochem then you should go for it

Do you think molecular biology is a good option?
