Hi Kaitlin,
Chemistry is such a broad field, you don't know yet where it might take you. Maybe you'll work in a lab, but maybe you'll be a computational chemist and work on a computer. You might end up in environmental chemistry and analyze soil and air samples. You might end up in toxicology and help solve crimes. You might end up in cosmetic chemistry and launch your own skincare line. You might end up a materials chemist and develop new materials that can replace plastics and help save the environment. You might end up in pharmaceutical chemistry and develop new cures for diseases. You might use your degree in chemical sales or become a product manager for analytical equipment. You might go into scientific communications and write about the newest discoveries. There is no end to the opportunities. It's all about finding you niche. I left some links for you below.
With a bachelors degree you can apply to entry level positions like lab technician. For jobs in research, you'll need at least a masters if not a PhD.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
