<p>Hi!
Background: I am a high school junior and I am about to finish my first chemistry class! Chemistry, by far, has been my favorite class to learn in this year. With college around the corner, I really need to determine my possible future. I've always had business in the back of my mind but I don't have the same interest in it as I do with chemistry. I earn A's with one or two B's and I will be taking AP Statistics and AP Chemistry this coming fall.</p>
<p>So here are the thoughts going on in my head...
1). Am I even smart enough to go into this field?? When I think of chemistry, I think of extremely intelligent people and I just don't think I fit that description.
2). After searching "What can I do with a Chemistry major" I always run into a post about how terrible of major this is and how they don't get paid as well but hey- if you love what you're doing everyday, can you really put a price on that? So I guess I don't mind the "small" salary. My question is, is chemistry a bad idea based upon future prospects?
3). Chemical Engineer. What an awesome job this sounds like! If I want to pursue this, will I be in a bit of trouble for not taking any engineering classes throughout high school?
4). What are some examples of careers?
5). What are really good colleges for a chemistry major?</p>
