Title: Chemistry Teaching Jobs--Jr College/College Level in California
Post by: JamesAA on November 09, 2013, 07:26:03 PM
Hello.  I'm a 40 year old in search of a new career.  I have a B.S. in Statistics as well as Earth Sciences from Berkeley.  I had to take chem (through 2nd year--O Chem) in college but actually ended up enjoying chemistry about as well as any other subject. 

I'm considering going back to school to pursue at least a Bachelors in Chem, but more likely a M.S. or possibly PhD. 

What's the job outlook for teaching at the JC level in California?  What about 4 year college?   Obv a PhD would be required for a 4 year college, but are most profs/teachers at JC's at the M.S. level or do they typically of PhDs?

Any other info or tidbits about careers in chem would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
James
