Career in Chemistry

The career opportunities in chemistry are Endless!!!


Chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen and felt is made of chemicals. Chemistry is a very versatile science. Mastery of chemistry is associated with excellent analytical and mathematical skills. Students of chemistry are able to solve problems and think things through which is useful for any job. A chemist is a people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things.




















The employment options depend on how far of your education.


  1. A 2 years degree in chemistry does not get you very far. You could work in some labs washing glassware or assist at a school with lab preparation, but you would not have much advancement potential and you could expect a high level of supervision.
  2. A college bachelor's degree in chemistry (B.A., B.S.) opens up more opportunities. A 4 years college degree can be used to gain opportunities to advanced degree programs. With the bachelor's degree, you can get a job which would allow you to use equipment and prepare chemicals. A bachelor's degree in chemistry or education is necessary to teach at the K-12 level.
  3. A master's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering or other field opens up far more options. A terminal degree (Ph.D. or M.D.), leaves the field wide open. In the United States you need at least 18 graduate credit hours to teach at the college level. Most scientists who design and create their own research have terminal degrees.
