I guess it depends on the type of research you are interested in. I am technician in a large cancer research institute, most of the students have degrees in biochemistry or biological sciences from good unis so pick your institution carefully. A degree with some type of placement will give you an advantage too.
I only know about academic technical posts. most ask for a a "relevant degree" so i don't think the subject will make much difference to pay. A broad biological sciences degree would cover the most areas. I suggest you check out the recruitment pages of unis, hospitals and biotechs to see what they are looking for.
