No matter what mastery a scientist chooses to concentrate on, chemistry is a necessary building block when it comes to a scientific career and knowing about the sciences. Chemistry can be focused on individually or combined with other sciences and subjects. There are many types of chemistry so there are many kinds of careers someone can journey through by going into chemistry. Agricultural chemistry covers many fields from the development of a molecule or chemical compound that kills a pest or a weed, to testing for the impact and fate of the chemical on the environment.
Agricultural chemists work in labs or test fields and waterways.
They use their skills in analytical chemistry, basic organic chemistry and environmental science. The job outlook has become competitive in this field and it is not necessary to have a Ph.D. Biotechnology involves the use of living organisms or cell processes to make useful products. Biotechnology is using chemicals to benefit biological actions. Teamwork and a Ph.D. is essential to succeed in this field of study. The job approach for this career is growing and plentiful.
