text: you don't say if you're in US or UK or somewhere else - your choices depend on that. In UK you will not be able to get into forensic work without a specialist degree, probably doctorate level, whereas in the US I understand that you can.\nWhat about some sort of environmental chemistry work? That at least uses your degree and gets you outdoors, too...monitoring etc obviously needs to take place outside!\nA chemistry degree should show employers that you are numerate so there are many avenues of employment open. My students often go on to work in teaching, lab management, sales, hospital and other labs, chemical production and analysis, environmental monitoring etc but have also gone into actuarial work, statistical analysis and even working in science centres.\nGood luck!
