Even PhD's have a rough go of it in organic chem - would recommend PhD before looking for ajob.  DuPont would be great if you can get in.

If you go to Monster.com and look for jobs with the title "chemist" you will find ads from several firms that are hiring as well as many recruiters. I will not make any recommendations but there are groups like Judge Group, Management Recruiters and many others out there. Good luck!

I recently graduated from Ohio University with a BS in Chem.  It takes 4yrs wherever you go, and you can go straigt to gradschool depending on how far you want to take it, but you need at least a four year degree to get a decent job.  A Masters degree will be another 2yrs, and a PhD another 4-5yrs.  The more schooling you finish, the more you'll be paid, basically.  But also the more responsibility you will have.  With a BS you can get a job doing bench chemistry at a variety of businesses, including pharmaceutical companies, cosmetics, and personal hygeine companies among others.  You'll start out at a decent wage and work your way up.  Myself, I decided I didn't want to be in the lab, and got into the office of a company that deals with rubber chemistry.  They were very happy to have my chemical background in the office.  It just depends on what you're looking for.\n\nAs for requirements, obviously each shool varies.  You will need, of course, a highschool degree or equivalent.  Your GPA will need to be C+/B- or above.  Schools like to see above average test scores as well (take both the SATs and the ACTs, as well as the highschool proficiency exams).  They also like to see that you  are involved in some sort of extracurricular such as sports, community volunteering, or student or local government.

problem with forensics is there is hardly any jobs in it, only a handful come out every year, and universities pump out lots of graduates in forensics every year, saturated market.\n\nI dunno where u live, but in the UK a doctor can make an uncapped salary, which means if you are on call 6 days a week and are good at what u do, and are prepared to perhaps work in a rural area there is nothing to stop u getting £250k per annum.  \n\nDon't do a job you don't want to do, like pharamacy, thats a waste.\n\nGrad school will probably involve some form of lab work, demonstrating ect, it is average pay in the UK, 32-36K.\n\nYour question is what can you do with a chemistry degree?\n\nWhat can't you do with a chemistry degree?  it's one of the best degrees to get, every employer will fall over backwards to get someone who has analytical skills, team work skills, time management skills, practical thinking.\n\nThere are more chemistry graduates work in the london stock exchange than people with economy degrees.\n\nIf you fancy getting away from chemistry a bit, try for another sort of job, which i don't think you have by the sounds of it, you'll be surprised and i'm pretty sure you'll easily be able to get above your target earnings.

If you want a career with a Bachelors in biology, you should at least get your Masters, but Phd gives you alot more options. Without a PhD, you could teach high school students or under, work as a tech for a pharmaceutical company or in academia. PhD programs in biology are tough these days due to lack of funding in several areas, which unfortunately, is a larger deal than it should be, but the cause of much stress in a grad student's life. You should apply to programs in cancer, obesity, and diabetes research using molecular and/or bioinformatics techniques since that is where the money is.

chemists are 10 a penny. working as sales rep for chem company is best opion if money is your prime aim.  but remember a BSc is no longer regarded as a high level of educaton due to the large numbers who have them and this has pushed down graduate wages, science graduates are among the lowest paid.  avoid research work as it is low paid and short term contract in many cases.  you may wish to consider working abroad too. good luck

With a BA or BS in chemistry, you can get various jobs in the chemical industry.  Most of these jobs involve bench work.  With a MS in chemistry, you can get the same jobs paying more as well as jobs as the safety person in small college chemistry departments or teach at a community college.  With a PhD in chemistry, you can become a professor or work in the chemical industry.  You will be able to advance in your field and be promoted.  Degrees in physics are useful in similar jobs. There are also more non-traditional career paths.  If you don't like any of the options that I have listed, you should probably think about ways that science meets the public.  Water quality testing, perhaps.  Enviromental anything.

you can find job in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device industries as a process development chemist amd analytical chemist.you can also find job in the food industry! allows you to work in many of new and exciting areas of science such as BioPharmaceuticals (sometimes called biotech)or pharmaceuticals. It can also allow you to work in the work of toxicology (where you determine the effects of drugs on people/animals) or even forensics. It really combines the best of biology with the best of chemistry.

It depends on what you want to do once you get the degree.  If you want to go onto a PhD program, you should find out how many of their graduates decided to do that, and they types of programs they were accepted into.\n\nFor entering the work force you should look at the same question, although I have a hunch that USC would probably provide the best "in" for right into ther workforce, as that school's alumni tend to really look after each other.

Chem Eng is a good practical career and leaves you with lots of options e.g. Oil & Gas; Pharmaceutical; Food; Drink; Plastics; Medical Devices.\n\nCiv Eng I guess would also be a fair choice.\n\nEnglist Organisations like the IchemE & ICE describe both\n\nChem Eng will give you chance to travel internationally - here in the UK we are very short of Chem Eng'rs & the pay is therefore good!

Depends on what interests you, but I'll assume you're wondering what majors are most employable after graduation. Based on quite a few years since my own graduation (and given my particular interests and talents), I should have majored in economics or mathematics or geology - if my goal were simply employment.  But in fact I'm happy to have taken anthropology and political science and history and film.\n\nPlease capitalize your sentences in future posts. Thank you.

You would move up to VP at a pharm or bio company.  Look in your professional journals.  Some of them have People sections, which focus on who has moved up in what companies and what degrees they have.  I noticed in the Journal of Chemical Engineering that all of the VPs had MBAs with science or engineering degrees.

Radiology and dental hygiene would be the best for the time in school and the amount you will make afterwards.  There is a big shortage in the field and provide for many jobs anywhere.

4 for undergrad 2 for masters and then i think 2 more for PHD and then you have residency where you learn on the job. i think its about 10 years. get your math and chemistry up as high as you can in highschool to make life easier. and try and take as many Advanced Placement (AP) cources as you can you can cut out at least a semester of course work if you can pass them. and start studying organice chemistry now. if you really want to get ahead of the game you will go down to your local college at the end of the semester and ask if they are keeping the same organic chemistry book for next semester if not you can pick one up for a couple of bucks and if they are you can still ask students selling back their books if you can buy it instead of them selling it back. thats a real easy way to get up to date text books at a low price. but you will be fine as long as you talk to your counselor and have a plan in mind you will do fine.

Imagine that you have graduated college and you need to get a job RIGHT NOW.  The pressure is on....so you have to decide, you should  look in the paper or yahoo hot-jobs under different sections and see if anything looks appealing.  The first thing you need to do is eliminate something.  There are a few basic categories of careers: Finance, business, medicine, psychology.  Many people go with psych cause it's easy and interesting to study in college (but remember  picture yourself out of college) but once you get out unless you get your PhD or become a therapist ect, there's not much you can do with that.  So then take medicine, can you see yourself as a doctor or a nurse?   Or can you see more possibilities and expansion in business or finance.  If you want to work for a company maybe you should go with business cause in business there are so many different branches that you can explore.  I hope this helps but ultimately you need to eliminate things before just choosing something.   Just get a bachelors in something broad enough to be appealing for many different companies or whatever broad field you find desirable

Biotechnology is a booming sector.  Look at all the pharma giants that are going to put up shop in India.  Many are coming this way.  They are looking out for people like you.  I think you should do a thorough search on the internet, check the opportunities for your field.  Having come this far, you should not give up.\n\nGet a job, get experienced, you never know, you might end up lovin it, and do MBA in correspondance.  Pune has some good institutes for correspondance.  If you are inclined towards finance, you can opt for MBA in Finance.  If you are inclined towards human resource development, you can opt for MBA in HRD, either will be helpful to you in your chosen field.  You have spent five years nearly studying this subject, dont give up now.  May be you can go on to do your PhD too.\n\nI think you are dazzled by the salaries the MBA grads get.  Dont be because most of them get unhappy with their high-salaried jobs within six months, maximum stick on until one year before opting for jobs they love for a lower salary.  That is what is important.  You gotta love what you do first.  Remunerations will follow.  Other way around, you will end up being miserable.
