Careers in Chemistry—Career Descriptions
In simplest terms, chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted,
smelled, seen or felt is made of chemicals.
Chemists are the people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing
things. Some chemists work on cures for cancer while others monitor the ozone protecting us
from the sun. Still others discover new materials to make our homes warmer in the winter, or
new textiles to be used in the latest fashions. The knowledge gained through the study of
chemistry opens many career pathways. Here are just a few of the careers chosen by chemists.
