How Does One Become a Chemist?

First and foremost, as with ANY career decision, what you need to decide above all else is whether you have the interest and skills and abilities to be a chemist. Do you enjoy the analytical and laboratory aspects of chemistry? Would you want to work in industry, government, or education? How many chemistry courses have you taken? Have you talked with any chemists about career paths?

According to the American Chemical Society (ACS), most chemists are employed in one of four areas: industry (60%), academia (24%), government (9%), or non-traditional (7%).

While a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in some area of chemistry (organic, polymer, macromolecular, medicinal, etc.) is required for the most basic lab jobs, many of the better career tracks require an advanced degree, including a doctoral degree in chemistry. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics projects most of the growth in this field to come from pharmaceutical companies and in research and testing firms.

Is the career financially viable? Even though I cringe at that question, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that as of July 2009, the latest date for which figures are available, beginning salary offers chemists with a bachelor’s degree averaged $39,897.

Medical Science in India

Medical Science in India provides remedies, cures and safeguards man against various diseases. Different countries have different systems of medicine. Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Acupressure etc. are becoming popular today.

Becoming a doctor is a childhood dream for many. Perhaps, there is no other career which commands such a respect and awe as medicine. The power to heal has placed the medical profession several rungs above all others.

A doctor’s profession involves a lot of hard work with a good degree of dedication and at the same time, it also brings with it the satisfaction of having cured people suffering from illness, disease and trauma.

A simple degree in medicine is however not enough for making a successful and a satisfactory career. One needs to do specialization in any of the branches of medicine or surgery to become a specialist of certain kind e.g. Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Gynecology, Surgery, Neurosurgery, Neonatology etc.

A doctor may also have to acquire certain computers & IT skills, which are necessary to operate and use sophisticated medical equipments, which not only help in exact diagnosis of an ailing patient but also provide options to use non-invasive methods of treatment.

The advancement in medical sciences has enhanced our longevity and decreased mortality rates dramatically. However, industrialization and technological advancement has adversely affected our environment and lifestyles that has manifested in new types of diseases and ailments, which poses a challenge to the medical fraternity.

The demand for medical professionals for treatment as well as research work is ever increasing both within India and abroad. The ongoing liberalization of economy is expected to bring in better opportunities for medical professionals in terms of remuneration, research and working facilities.

How Interested Are Employers in Career Portfolios?

Anonymous writes:

I believe the career portfolio is an important job search tool; however, many of my co-workers are not convinced. I want to know some statistics that will reveal that many employers are actually interested in interview candidates who come to the interview with a career portfolio. I am a business technology teacher at the secondary level, and I teach my students job readiness skills. We will be creating career portfolios in all of the classes I teach this fall. I would like the other teachers to do this as well. I am the business department chair, and I want to provide some information that explains how powerful a tool the career portfolio really is.

I have visited lots of sites but I do not see info that tells me which businesses in particular are using or want their applicants to come with a career portfolio. Can you help me, help my students and other educators at the secondary level?

The Career Doctor responds:

Unfortunately, I cannot give you the statistics on the number of employers who require or are interested in career portfolios. I can, however, state that I am a big proponent of career portfolios because they are just another selling tool in the job-seeker’s career toolbox. A resume states what someone has accomplished, but a portfolio can actually show it! There is nothing more powerful, in my mind, than pulling out a hefty portfolio of your work and placing it on the interviewer’s desk with a resounding “thump.”

And while career portfolios have traditionally been used by job-seekers in the arts, more and more job-seekers across all disciplines are using them as a way to develop a career focus, document experiences and accomplishments, and as an aid for prepping for job interviews.

In fact, one of my colleagues actually supports the development of two portfolios, an external portfolio used for job-hunting purposes and an internal one, used for career development.

All businesses ideally want job-seekers with experience, and a portfolio is the tool to document that experience. Things that can be included in a career portfolio include:

Resume(s)
Career Goals/Objectives/Summary
List of accomplishments
Samples of work and reports
Awards and honors
Professional development activities
Reference list
Just one final note: Do not send portfolios to employers unsolicited; job-seekers should bring portfolios with you to the interview.
