fluene 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 I'm a chemistry degree holder. Choice of career : chemist, QC, QA, research scientist (I am one), legal advisor, lecturer, product specialist, sales (chemicals & supplies), equipment speacialist, etcWhy did you study chemistry if you don't know the choice of career?

babypy 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2007 I am also a applied chemistry holder .I think among the other science degree such as bio or biotech , math ......chemistry has the widest range of job. U can find jobs in factories , sales n bla bla bla ..... or as an engineer ( process engineer , QA/QC ENGINEER) ......iM now currently working as a scientist in scomi oiltools ...musiclover85 ......u should try to apply any jobs even tot if the requirement stated such as engineering degree onli or experience onli . Actually some company dun really mind , they can train u up , as long as u got a goood attitude ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilioe 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 Actually im studying chemistry now, too..will graduate soon..i know tat there's a wide range of jobs for chemistry but do u guys just look for jobs in the newspapers and jobstreet? cos out of curiosity i see the newspaper it's always very difficult to find ppl hiring chemists and all tat..usually there are more vacancies for accountants and engineers..quite worried le..

Engineering is based on fundamental science. That's why fundamental scientist can work in enginneering field Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why fundamental scientist can work in enginneering fieldHeard they can work in engineering fields. Same fields, but that does that means they can apply for engineer positions, since engineering and fundamental chemistry has difference technically. Eventho the first year basis is basically the same. The rest were totally different. I know they can work as scientist, assistant researcher, labs, lecturers. But then working as process engineer? How would they know about designing equipments and stuffs? Then monitor the process? its kindaa related rite? Weird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course one cannot expect to start engineerin g work straight away. But after a while and with practice (and lots of common sense as well), one can do all those engineering stuff. As for me, as I said, I am a chemistry graduate. But I have designed a pilot plant which is valued at RM9 million and it is under commissioning now. Who says chemistry graduates cannot do engineering stuff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quen^nie 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Dats kewl. Its a new knowledge to me. Here, in Sarawak, if wanna work in oil & gas co., certs does counts, see what you are major in, then working experience. Usually, they are a bit loose if you come from big companies like shell and i-hate-petronas. Chances in getting contractor companies is easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
