text: what jobs can you get with a chemistry degree?   all sorts, you can work in chemisty field, you can work in medical laboratories, you can flip burgers, (i assume you don't want to do that, but it sure does taste good),  here are a few more   analytical chemistry is the analysis of material samples to gain an understanding of their chemical composition and structure. analytical chemistry incorporates standardized experimental methods in chemistry. these methods may be used in all subdisciplines of chemistry, excluding purely theoretical chemistry.  biochemistry is the study of the chemicals, chemical reactions and chemical interactions that take place in living organisms. biochemistry and organic chemistry are closely related, for example, in medicinal chemistry.    a chemist prepares a new fuel cell for testing.inorganic chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of inorganic compounds. the distinction between organic and inorganic disciplines is not absolute and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry.  medicinal chemistry is the science involved with designing, synthesizing and developing pharmaceutical drugs. medicinal chemistry involves the identification, synthesis and development of new chemical entities suitable for therapeutic use. it also includes the study of existing drugs, their biological properties, and their quantitative structure-activity relationships.  organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, mechanisms, and reactions of organic compounds.  physical chemistry is the study of the physical fundamental basis of chemical systems and processes. in particular, the energetics and dynamics of such systems and processes are of interest to physical chemists. important areas of study include chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry,quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, and spectroscopy. physical chemistry has large overlap with theoretical chemistry and molecular physics. physical chemistry involves the use of calculus in deriving equations.  theoretical chemistry is the study of chemistry via theoretical reasoning (usually within mathematics or physics). in particular the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry is called quantum chemistry. since the end of the second world war, the development of computers has allowed a systematic development of computational chemistry, which is the art of developing and applying computer programs for solving chemical problems. theoretical chemistry has large overlap with condensed matter physics and molecular physics.see reductionism.
