What is a cool job involved with chemistry?

What kind of job can I get that just requires a university degree?

  • It can be in any subject field except math related things. I know there are a lot of good paying jobs out there for people involved in that, but I really suck at math. Basically, I can't afford to go to university for more than 4 years. I'm paying for it on my own, and I'm expected to move out when I get my degree. I'm taking out student loans because I can't afford it with the $2000 I've saved up working part time in high school. Especially since my parents want me out of the house when I finish my degree, I need to choose a degree that almost guarantees myself a job without any additional education or training. Without one, I will literally be homeless. My parents have already done this with my two older siblings. One didn't finish his degree, and the other is living with a friend while she's at grad school, and she's kind of been ignored by my parents since they kicked her out last year because she argued with them… I have no doubt that they'll tell me to leave too. If I can't find a degree that will get me a job when I graduate, I'm not going to waste my time and money. Any university degree (minus things like math/physics and stuff). I'm good at english, art, biology, chemistry, and almost everything that doesn't involve math - I really, really suck at math.

  • Answer:

    No matter what you major in, you have to take math and science for 1-2 semesters in college. Almost all schools require that of everyone. Here's a chart of college majors and how much they pay on average (and the employment rates in that major). http://graphicsweb.wsj.com/documents/NILF1111/#term= Don't go to college without a plan for how you'll use the degree you're getting to get a job. No degree guarantees a job, and the highest paying ones with the best employment all require a lot of math and science.

Biology and chemistry degrees require math. English and art degrees don't lead to jobs. No degree guarantees a job - period. Because degrees don't get jobs, people do. And, there are more people who want a job than there are jobs for them to have. Some degrees, however, are more marketable than others. Your problem will be that the list of most marketable/higher pay as degrees go is almost identical to a list of which degrees require the most math. That is, the more math - the more money/jobs. No math - no money. Social Workers and Elementary School Teachers don't do an awful lot of math - and they usually sit on the bottom of lists of marketability and earnings. Engineers and financial managers do a lot of math - they usually sit on the top of those same lists. Right now the highest demand degrees are in engineering and nursing. Both of those seem to have very little trouble (compared to other majors) getting a job. Among the least in demand is English (and comms, journalism, etc) because those fields have been supplanted by the internet and freelancers. Digital arts is probably going toward negative demand right now - there are more people able than there are jobs for them and the degree matters very little compared to talent. Skilled trades are about to be in very high demand. It appears that everyone thinks learning a trade is beneath them somehow and that getting a BA in Art (and then becoming a waiter) is a "better" life. You might like to look over at your local trade/technical college and see what they have - some of those fields pay very well and employers can't get enough. When it's 105F outside, people pay big bucks to get the broken A/C fixed. Did I mention - NO degree guarantees a job. Period. Some just make the search a little easier.
