Some chemists work in laboratories and manufacturing plants, while others spend a lot of time outdoors, conducting research. Some are employed by universities, researching or teaching. Being a chemist is a great career because you can find job opportunities in so many different industries. The more places that you can work, the better your chances of finding a job. Chemists are employed by pharmaceutical companies, energy companies, and other businesses. They work in the automotive industry, for NASA and private space exploration companies, and for hospitals and research laboratories. Some people choose chemistry as a career because it’s a way to help make the world a better place. Humans as a whole live better lives because of chemistry. Chemists discover new medicines.
