text: i would like to be a cosmetic chemist, what course should i take in college? i'll be studying in the university from fall 2006. i was wondering what i should take to be a cosmetic chemist.  i was also wondering if i should go to grad school to be what i want to be. i am glad to hear any other tips regarding to this topic.  thanx a lot (in advance) you should talk to an advisor at the college to see what the requirements are. good-luck
