I know its not a chemistry question as in working out reactions etc. but I thought there might be some professionals who could help.
Im currently in year 10 at highschool, and I am definitley looking at a scientific career, however, ive never seen a laboratory down the road with a big sign saying 'calling all possible future scientists' in big letters.
I know im thinking way ahead, and ive got A levels and then uni, but i like to plan....
So how would I get into chemistry as a career? what kind of branches of chemistry are there and what qualifications would I definitley need?
A big thanks to all that can help
