Chemistry is a broad based subject that gives you wide variety of options. I would suggest about think about an area of your passion (for example Enviroment , food, medicine, pharmaceuticals ) and you will be able to find chemistry jobs in that area.

Susan’s Answer
My husband is currently completing a second college degree to get a BS in Chemistry. He is planning on being a high school chemistry teacher. His classmates are thinking of jobs like working for a university as a researcher, or in a pharmaceutical company to develop or build new drugs, or in production to improve processes. He says any business that involves chemistry needs chemists. Good luck and stick with it - it's great to see girls interested in Chemistry!
