Bump come on guys i need help

organic chem master race

Math

> no labs
> 300k starting

If this is a serious question I would suggest getting in contact with the staff at the school you intend to be working at.

>not doing computational
You dun goofed m8. Honestly I would just go analytical since organic is already filled with memers.

I talked to a lot of different profs from a few of the sub fields of chemistry when i went for admitted student visit weekend a few months ago. My degree is biochem and i have experience in a bio lab and an org synth lab, plus a year of work experience in analytical so i dont think im limited to organic. I wanna be an entrepreneur afterwards though, which sub field do you think is best for that?

>>18530757
Yeah bro dope advice ill just call up the office of graduate studies im sure theyll let me switch from chemistry to mathematics

If you want to be an entrepreneur that means you are going to be living, breathing, eating and sleeping your decision. Make sure it's something you are interested in.

Im interested in using my chemistry skills to make money. Buying cheap old analytical equipment gives me a lot of options and flexibility with what i can do, i think a lot more so than organic

>>18530756
U in/did a phd program? What was it like?

>>18530764
synthesizing recreational drugs is a great way to make money you raging cunt

Simple.

Do you want a guaranteed job and a shitload of tedious, boring work that will make you want to shoot yourself in the head? Analytical

Do you want to actually feel like a chemist and have some semblance of accomplishment? Organic/ organometallic/ inorganic.

Do you want to feel like you made the biggest fucking mistake of your life by going to grad school to learn a skill that is utterly worthless to any industrial application? Do computational

This man understands the field.
I was going to pretty much say this.
Anal Chem is so fucking boring I don't know how anyone can seriously pursue this shit as a career and not kill themselves.
Orgo is pretty cool OP I would go that way.
Or be a real man and do pure theory with no computational work.

>not liking labs

do you even fun?

>>18530796
Yeah i mean its boring for sure. But with the legalization of weed and regulation of extract drug products on the horizon i predict there wil be a lot work for me with my phd and some refurbished old lc and gc machines. Biggest takeaway is i dont want to be a salary cuck thats my main goal
