Okay, so leading on from my other thread in SG:

Anybody have a general idea on the availability of jobs in Australia as an organic chemist? I hear it's shit and impossible to find, but it really is the most interesting chemistry course on offer IMO.

(the thread was about which uni to do science in)

So yes, any ideas? or should i take a few extra years, pay a few more tens of thousands of dollars in student fees and get into nuclear engineering?

Thanks for any help you can give.

So do you want a job with a company in a factory or a bunch of angry people with guns in run down housing estates?

So long as I'm wearing a lab coat I'll be set.

Seriously though, legit jobs. Just wanted to know how much of a need for organic chemists there is, or what kind of chemistry would have many jobs available.

Jobsearch brah's :p

Maybe Fullmetaljacket will chime in, he may know a bit more on the subject...

This isn't about drugs, douche-fag.

He wants to live better through chemistry.

hah.
5char

do ittt.

i wish i was smart enough to be a chemist/nuclear engineer.

Okay, I will. For you spinal_cord.

shit dude, why stop at organic chem? THat opens doors to pharmacology and toxicology and an array of other fields. The more you narrow your skills down the better job you'll get. it may be harder to find a career that calls for all those things, but if you do you will be making bank!$$$!
