Gurmukh’s Answer

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.
https://www.mendeley.com/careers/news/careers-jobs-field/top-10-chemistry-jobs gives the top 10 chemistry jobs. Some of the areas I have seen chemist work in government are EPA, FDA and FBI. The chemists can work as
Analytical Chemist
Chemical Engineer
Chemistry Teacher
Forensic Scientist
Geochemist
Hazardous Waste Chemist
Materials Scientist

Toxicologist
Water Chemist

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!
