- aspect of being a chemist is English, Comunication is of the utter most importance
- (Murphy). As well as having good communication skills, you also need a lot of patience.

- and mathematical skills. You will also need to be able to preceive concepts or objects.
- Once you get into college you need to know what kind of degree to get in order to have a
- fulfilling and successful career. For most entry level jobs a BS degree is sufficient.
- However, for a college teaching job a Ph.D. is required (Choices).
- After obtaining a degree, your next step would be to find a job. According to
- Jerry Murphy, if you want an easy way into the chemistry field you need to know someone
- already in that occupation. For the most part in Missouri, employment is increasing.
- Nevertheless, if you are not restricted to finding a job in Missouri, in the United States
- a whole employment is expected to increase 21% (Choices).
- After finding a job in the chemistry field that you will enjoy another quesiton arises,
- money. On hte average if you begin working at a entry level job witha bachelors
- degree your salary will be somewhere around $24,000 a year. If you start work with a
- masters degree you can expect about $32,000 and with a Ph.D. as mcuh as $60,000 ("Chemists")

- different types of research basic research and applied research. In basic research a
- chemists studies the qualities and what makes up matter. In applied chemistry a chemist
- uses information obtained from basic research and puts it to practical use ("Chemists").
- Chemistry includes many other subfields some of these are analytical chemistry, organic
- chemistry, and physical chemistry. Analytical chemists ascertain the nature, structure, and
- composition of a substance. Organic chemistry involves orgainc substances. Aphysical
- chemist, however, studies the attributes of atoms and molecules. Also they study why
- and how chemical reactions occur (Choices).
- After researching this career thoroughly I have concluded that this occupation,
- even though it is not my first choice, would be a good career to pursue. According to the
