You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you are planning for a career in Chemistry, there are many career options as a Chemist. The American Chemical Society has a list of different areas of specialization that Chemists can go into and even provides a short job description and has a basic salary calculator for Chemistry jobs.
In general, a Bachelor’s degree is sufficient for a career in Chemistry. However, if you are looking for a career in research, a Bachelor’s degree will not be sufficient. In most cases, having a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry will confine you mostly to support positions such as supporting a lab function by taking charge of mostly administrative and logistical work. You may also be able to do some research work, depending on your chosen area of expertise.
A Ph.D. will definitely help in one’s career by providing opportunities in more complex and challenging research assignments, though this also varies between specializations.
