what career for degree in applied chemistry??

Recommended Posts

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, etc

Why did you study chemistry if you don't know the choice of career?

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 .....

I am a chemist graduate working on engineering work. Engineering is based on fundamental science. That's why fundamental scientist can work in enginneering field

Heard 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

With experience, a chemist graduate can also design equipments and monitor process. 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?

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.

May I ask which university you've graduated from? :thumbup1:
