Chemists also can be employed by educational institutions ranging from high schools to universities. Some chemists start their own businesses or work as consultants. A former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, is a chemist by training. Unemployment among chemists is very low. In good times the best candidates have a multitude of choices at attractive salaries.
Chemistry is a field that is challenging and interesting for study.
That it offers a rewarding professional life is a fact. Many students who complete a B.S. degree in chemistry continue their studies in graduate school. In the past few years our students have gone on to Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and the University of California at Berkeley.
