My dad is a chemist. He works in a lab where they purify gold and do all this stuff with 24K gold. It's pretty interesting. You don't have to teach when you get a Chem. degree. You could work in a pharmaceutical lab. Also, the most money a chemist can earn is working in a pharmaceutical lab.

Are you kidding?
Maybe not right off but there are only about a million different internships offered by petrochemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturers like Dow and DuPont for people with backgrounds in chemistry.
An added focus of organic (or inorganic for that matter) helps.

Is there a Merck near you somewhere?? they have good programs for chemistry grads. If you're still in school, I would look into any of the big drug companies. Pfizer, merck, aventis, etc. Also, look into big chemical companies like Dow chemical.
