A wealth of career choices for chemists

There was a time when those studying for a chemistry degree eventually had to choose between just two or three career paths. They could stay in academia, at least for the foreseeable future. Others would leave university to work for the chemical or pharmaceutical industry. Finally, there was always the option to train to become a teacher. 

Fortunately, things have changed. The sheer diversity of options for chemistry graduates can take many by surprise, because they stretch so much further than the three paths outlined above.
