Question
I am Bsc in chemistry . iwant to do job  I am a fresh graduate    which is the right path for me?

Answer
I would suggest doing searches for jobs online. For jobs in the US, I like www.indeed.com and www.monster.com. You will have more opportunities in larger cities, at least that's what I've found. In smaller towns, the job responsibilities for entry level chemists are pretty mundane - you spend most of the day shaking and pouring various solutions and cleaning glassware. That's not to say that you can't move up to more interesting responsibilities, it will just take awhile - possibly years. In a large city the chances are greater that you'll get to start out doing something you like or move up to a position you'll enjoy more quickly.

I think by searching for jobs online you'll get a better idea of what you want to do with your degree. There are lots of chemistry jobs out there - many different paths you can take - you just have to be patient and sift through the available jobs to figure out what you want to do.

Good luck,

Beth
