I am a Junior in University in New York majoring in Chemistry and going for my ACS certification. My family and advisors are continually asking me what I want to do with my life when I graduate. At first I thought I wanted to do Forensics. Then the possibility of Cosmetic Chemist piqued my interest. I know there are many jobs, but I need MORE information and guidance. Can anyone give me a website or two to help me on my search for careers after I graduate with my BS from University? Or information on how the job market is looking these days for Chemists? Is there a high demand for them? How about in another two-three years? In New York? Is there more demand in other States around the country? How much is beginning annual pay? How much schooling do they look for? Is a BS with ACS cert enough? Should I continue on to get my MS or PHD? How long will this take? Should I work in the mean time?
I'm only 21 but I KNOW this is what i want to do with my life!! I just need a little HELP! =)
Plenty in Delaware in the field of medicine. A lot of pharmaceutical companies are out here looking for chemists and if you are on the team that invents a breakthrough drug and it hits the market big, with your bonus, you can be set for life.
