Most Stable Career?

To be perfectly honest, there are very few career paths out there where there are enough relevant jobs for life for everyone graduating in that subject area. Even medicine isn't on that list any more - last I heard there was a shortage of foundation year jobs.

Best advice I can give you is to go and do a subject that will keep several career paths open to you, including the ones you're most interested in. Biochemistry will allow you to go into forensic science (jobs permitting) whereas criminology is a social science that won't lead to a lab-based job (but could lead to, say, work in the probation service). Both degrees can lead to other jobs too, and you should bear in mind that most people completely change their mind about what they want to do whilst at uni.

To improve your chances of getting a graduate job, whilst you're at uni try to find a job (and not flipping burgers etc!). It will give you transferable skills, experience, contacts and possibly even change your mind about the sector you want to go into.

One final note - life takes many twists and turns. The most interesting people I've come across have had quite a few unexpected things happen in their career, and very often to their benefit. If life had happened how they'd envisaged it when they were 18 it would have been much less interesting, lucrative and fulfilling.
