« on: November 23, 2006, 03:27:09 PM »
So, I am currently majoring in Chemistry. I know that there are a lot of jobs out there that deals with chemistry, but can I get a job with only a Chemistry degree? What kind of jobs are out there that are for Chemistry degrees? I am looking at a B.S., or even a PhD!!!

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Just because your degree is in chemistry doesn't mean you have to be a chemist.  You can get all kinds of jobs in industry with a chem degree.   You could even be a dustman or a lumberjack if you want to.  ;D :D ;D

Alot of chem grads go into management.  I however have a job as an industrial chemist.

What would you like to do with your life??

What kind of chemical jobs are out there? I don't know what I want to do with my life. What does a chemical engineer do?
