Many careers are not what they seem to me. Careers such as a chef is not just culinary, it's chemistry as well. Think about it, mixing ingredients, knowing the boiling points of foods and liquids is all the chemistry side of being a chef. When chemistry is in the title of the career, people think of science automatically and not all careers that deal with chemistry is science. Whether you think about it or not, many careers have chemistry in them because there are so many branches of chemistry that go into multiple directions. Careers in all types of fields connect and interact with chemistry, some more obviously than others such as water chemistry, medicinal chemistry and forensics chemistry.

Water Chemistry is when one studies the impact that water has on elements and also how those elements change or impact the quality of water. In order to be a water chemist, one would need to study microbiology, geology, hydrogeology and environmental chemistry. A water chemist would then work at Water Treatment Industries because those industries use water a lot and in many different ways. A water chemist can also hold a position job in the government, in the U.S. Geological Survey. The average salary for a water chemist ranges from $40,000.00 to $60,000.00 a year.

Medicinal Chemistry tests new products for drugs and makes them reasonably priced and eco-friendly. A medicinal chemist has to come up and analyze new compounds for the drugs. In order to be a medicinal chemist one would need advanced degrees in organic chemistry plus experience. Also having in depth knowledge about biochemistry is necessary. A medicinal chemist would go into the field by working as professors for the subject, works in Pharmacies and eventually end up working for the Government such as drug test reviewer. A medicinal chemist has a salary between $30,000.00 up to $90,000.00 a year, all depending on how high of a degree you have.

Forensic Chemist receive evidence from crime scenes and they have to analyze and identify what that piece of evidence is, whether it's a cherry juice stain in the carpet or blood. Chromatography is used frequently in this field in order to tell apart substances such as salt or cocaine. Forensic chemist analyze a lot of different pieces of evidence such as hair samples, lipstick, finger prints and substances found lying around. In order to become a forensic chemist, one should study Geology, Soil Chemistry, Materials science, microbiology and genetics. Forensic chemist usually end up working at the local, state or federal level police departments, medical examiners and forensic services lab. Someone with the career of a forensics chemist starts off with a salary of about $30,000.00 a year and can range up to $60,000.00 or more a year. Depending on your level of education and what you do as a forensics chemist, is a factor of how much of a salary the chemist earns.

In the working world, many careers use chemistry.
