10 jobs you can do with a B.sc in chemistry
Most times I do come across post on job employment with a b.sc in chemistry with nairalanders sharing the various opinions . So today I’ve got a solution to all that .
Chemistry is a very lucrative course with a lot of prospects .chemistry is a 4 year programme study as a course in tertiary institutions in Nigeria and across the globe.It has a professional body called chemical society of Nigeria and a student body called students chemical society of Nigeria. chemistry is a course that is very captivating and interesting. chemistry itself is science and science is life. Pospects of studying this wonderful course are;
1. Self employed;
Yes,you can be self employed by doing things like soap making, cream making, oil manufacturing e.t.c these are businesses that you can start with a little amount and then resulting into something large
2. Analytical chemist;
Analytical chemists use their skills and expertise to analyse substances, identify what components are present and in what quantities, as well how these components may behave and react with one another. This can include the analysis of drugs, food and other products to determine effectiveness, quality and to ensure they are safe for human consumption or use
3. Chemistry teacher; Chemistry teachers work in schools passing on their knowledge of chemistry to the next generation, following a set curriculum and helping their students to pass and excel in their school examinations.
4. Pharmacologist;
Pharmacologists undertake the development and testing of drugs, analysing how they interact with biological systems. This is essential for ensuring that drugs are effective and safe for human use, and may involve the testing of drugs on animals or on human volunteers. Pharmacology roles are often lab-based and may involve non-standard hours in order to monitor ongoing experiments
5. Chemical engineer;
Chemical engineers are involved the the design and development of new products from raw materials. They use their knowledge of chemical properties and reactions to transform materials from one state to another, for example making plastic from oil.
6. Geo chemist;
Geochemists study the physical and chemical properties of the Earth, particularly rocks and minerals.
7. Hazardous waste chemist;
They use their expertise to identify harmful chemical components in the air, water or soil, evaluate the danger they present and coordinate their removal and containment.
8. Material scientist; Materials scientists study man-made and natural substances to determine their properties, composition and how they could be transformed or combined to increase effectiveness or create new materials.
9. Water chemist;
Water chemists, as the name suggests, are concerned with analysing and maintaining the quality and condition of water, essential for human life on Earth.Most of the countries in Africa lack good ,clean and drinkable water they therefore needs a water chemist.
10. Toxicologist;
Toxicologists, like pharmacologists, may study the effects of drugs on biological systems but also look at the effects of other substances, both natural and man-made
NEVER BE DISCOURAGED AS AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDYING CHEMISTRY ,THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT BUT TRY TO BUILD YOUR SELF INTO WHAT YOU WISH TO BECOME AND WORK TOWARDS YOUR GOAL.

nice one

A chemist cannot substitute as a pharmacologist, toxicologist, chemical engineer or any of the professionals listed here.
Pls, get your facts right.
Chemistry is no doubt a good course.

A chemist can never substitute a chemical engineer and a materials engineer... materials science is far beyond chemistry..
