Hey @kimberli_martinez and welcome to \(\LARGE \sf \bbox[#40B9E9]{\color{white}{Open}}\bbox[#A8CE91]{\color{white}{Study!}}\)

There are a lot of branches, depending where you live or apply they may have different requirements, but I'm gonna talk of the experience I have from Denmark.

In general I like to say chemists can become:
Inventor, educator, entrepreneur or consultant.

Some chemcial industry branches could be:
* Manufacture of industrial gases.
* Manufacture of dyes and pigments.
* Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals.
* Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals.
* Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds.
* Manufacture of plastics in primary forms.
* Manufacture of synthetic rubber in primary forms.
* Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products.
* Manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics.
* Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations.
* Manufacture of perfumes and toilet preparations, toothpaste, etc..
* Production of explosives.
* Preparation of the glue.
* Manufacture of essential oils.
* Manufacture of other chemical products.
* Manufacture of synthetic fibers.

Answer 2

A company would want BSc with a few year experience or MS with some experience for Research and Development (R&D). For Marketing, they may not even need a chemistry degree. But for manager or higher, they'd want someone who has at least a chemistry MS with a few year experience or PhD with some experience.

Corporate management prefer someone who has an MBA and an advanced chemistry degree.

Answer 3

Chemical Engineering really only requires a bachelors degree. But if you're looking into research, all fields in Chemistry require at least a masters and prefer a doctorates degree or higher.
