I graduated with my bachelors in Chemistry and currently work as an analytical chemist for a bio-chem manufacturing company. Probably not what I thought would happen after I graduated...I had wanted to go into research or some fancy R&D dept but most of the jobs (at least around here in the Northeast US) lie within the analytical chemistry realm. Which is kind of funny because it was my least favorite sub discipline (I enjoyed organic and inorganic the most). I loved my orgo and inorganic labs. My professors were pretty awesome and the labs themselves were challenging yet rewarding. I kept all the material/reserach in the hopes that I can (maybe) return to school for my masters. And actually the company I work for now has a tuition reimbursement program so that may be a possibility soon.
In any case.... TLDR - Chemistry is awesome.
