How recommended is it to take AP Chemistry in high school?
I want to pursue a career in the medical field (specifically psychology, pediatrics, neurology, or psychiatry), but I also want to take many elective courses that I will enjoy in high school. For that, I won't have room in my schedule to take AP Chem, since it takes up two periods. I am also worried about the workload and the difficulty of the course, since I've heard it's one of the hardest AP courses to take. However, how much will taking it help build a foundation of knowledge for taking the MCAT? If it is enough, I may consider taking it.
What careers should I look into if I'm interested in chemistry especially forensic chemistry?
I've been interested in chemistry since I was a little kid because it gives me insight as to how the world really works on the molecular level. I like forensic because I get to solve challenging problems. Science and math are my best subjects at school and I enjoy tasks that require critical thinking. I want to be challenged and my work to make a positive impact.

confused about what to pursue in college
hi, I am a student currently studying in class 12th with major subjects as math, physics and chemistry. I'm really confused about the career should pursue further. I'm interested in being a commercial pilot but taking aeronautical engineering as an ug course will leave me with minimal options. Since I'm unsure about pursuing that I can't take the risk. Also, I would like to know which country is the cheapest to get a commercial pilot license and how is the life of a pilot like do they have a personal life? and have they been able to settle down in life?
Is it better to get a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering?
I'm a rising high school senior at a school that has allowed me to graduate high school with a associates degree in liberal arts, and I was thinking of applying to a college where I could get at least a bachelor's in Chemical engineering, thinking of going into a pharmaceutical job. I really enjoyed my chemistry and biology classes and thought this would be a good position for me to look into. Would it be best to geta. degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or would another degree entirely be best. Thanks!
Is college generally more laid back than high school?
I've heard that college is a lot less stressful and 'fast-paced' in comparison to high school. Is this true?
Is it better to major in general chemistry or major in a more specific part of chemistry?
An example of a more specific major would be chemical engineering or organic chemistry.
How many accumulated years is it to become a licensed and board certified pathologist?
Hello! I'm trying to figure out a few different career paths to look into, but I'm starting out to see the ones I have chosen, and what is required with them, Meaning years of college, training, as an assistant, etc, and how the people who work in those jobs feel about them. I do have multiple questions. I'm going to be asking these same questions to multiple sorts of careers I am interested in. 1.) Do you like your job, or do you regret choosing it? If you knew before entering your career what you have known now, would you still have chosen to do your career, or picked something else? 2.) (Mainly for the few jobs that may need this question, I apologize if its uncomfortable.) Do you feel mentally drained after being in this job, because of what it entails, and your experiences in it? Has it had an impact in your mental state? Final question, I'm sorry for asking so many. Do you feel you worked hard for a good reason? Do you feel it is a good career to retire on? Thank you for listening! #forensic-science #forensics #forensic #chemistry

How can I become a Cosmetic Chemist with a BS in Chemical Engineering?
Hello, my planned approach to this is to take a masters degree after my bachelor's and I'm thinking of either doing a MS in Cosmetic Science or a MS in Pharmaceutics with a specialization in Cosmetic Science. Any other recommended master degrees or methods in achieving this role in the cosmetic industry? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! #chemical-engineering #engineering #chemistry #masters #cosmetics
Career choices for chemistry
I am a high school senior and did the Johnson O'Connor assessments for careers. My results show that I should do something in chemistry or biology, preferably a job where I work more independently and that requires advanced education beyond a bachelor's. I do love chemistry/bio and have done very well in school (4.0 gpa, 35 ACT) but I have no idea exactly what careers I could do (current plan is to major in Biochemistry) . I often read now that a bachelor's in biology or chemistry is useless unless you are going into medical school or plan to pursue some sort of graduate degree in another medical field (physical therapy, etc). Otherwise salaries are very low for graduates who just work in a lab. With the cost of college being so high I want to know all my options. Thanks for any advice! #biology #chemistry #college

What makes silver fulminate so explosive?
I've seen those little "bang snap" things that you throw on the ground to make a bang sound, but was wondering why the silver fulminate is so reactive. I also watched an episode of breaking bad where the main character threw a large chunk of it at the floor and the entire room exploded. Is there a reaction that causes it so be so sensitive to things like that? #chemistry
Should I take Honors Organic Chemistry and AP Chemistry together?
I will be going into 11th grade next year, and I'm interested in going into Pre-Med. Here is my schedule for next year: Hon. Pre-Calc w/ Trig AP US History AP English 3 Hon. French IV AP Chemistry String Orchestra (Gym) I have space for 1 elective, so I was wondering if it would be better to take Organic Chemistry next year or senior year... if not, I can take Hon. Anatomy and Physiology instead. Based on how much coursework / content there will be, do you have any advice or recommendations? I am planning on doing AP Chem + Org. Chem together and AP Biology + Anatomy/Physiology together. Any thoughts? Thank you! #high-school-student #chemistry #AP #Honors #organic-chemistry #courses #sophomore
