I studied mechanical engineering until I discovered I liked chemistry a whole lot more.
Working for my bachelor's in chemistry, 3rd year and loving it.

MS in Math (1988); BFA in Music, BA in Math (1986).
Got a 5 on the AP Chem exam years ago! 
Was given an extremely "dangerous" 1960s chem set by my crazy uncle in the 1970s. Missed it a lot, recently decided to rebuild the lab. It's been a
blast, and I can afford much better stuff now! Learning quite a lot here, so thanks!

ATM I'm in yr9 secondary school in the UK, and I hope to complete AS/A2 levels and study synthetic organic chemistry at university.

i have an associate in physics and studied lab tech and chemistry since 1993 i also have a 2 years degree in nuclear physics...but astronomy is what
got me interseted in science since 1988 ...
but i drive a semi for a living now, and dream of going back to school ...
i guess i dont fit the profil of the poll..

I am not sure exactly where level of education fits into the poll but, I am a couple months away from finishing my first year of graduate school in
hopes of completing a PHD, Currently I am in a physical organic group that designs receptors for the purposes of studying molecular encapsulation.
specifically the project I am working on involves designing receptors that hydrolyze GX nerve agents.

I agree, chemistry is fvcking fascinating.
I have a degree in mechanical engineering from a junior university in Silicon Valley.
The most skilled engineer I have had the opportunity to work with was a U-Conn BS physics degree. He was an EE at one place I was a design supervisor
at. The man ran rings around the ME's & tool & die guys, and did the work of 3 or 4 EE's.
I probably learned more from watching him than from any professor.
Because of the way society treats people, I think it pays to have the pH.D., as long as you don't have to go into debt to do it.
I was recently looking at schools. ETH Zurich looks like a good school - 600 Francs per semester + English as primary language (I think). It's a
long way to go for a degree, unless you like cold & skiing.

I got my bachelor degree in chemistry a little over a year ago. Thinking about going back for molecular biology, then grad school.

This seems like a good place to ask, in Belgium there are 3 ''levels'' of education, ASO, TSO and BSO
ASO is the ''classic'' and what i'm doing now, TSO is slightly higher technical but generally equal to ASO and BSO is for ''dumb'' people who are
going to do labor.
I found a direction in TSO that does chem. and its appealing. But I want to know, is that a wise choice?
thanks

I'm currently an chemistry undergrad (Senior) at a local university. I hate America's out of control tuition costs, and how education is being made
unaffordable at an alarming rate. My school is one of the worst examples of the university system gone wrong, despite the fact that it has a stellar
chem department.
I WILL be a chemist one day, and I will give the uni NONE of the credit for getting me there. I taught myself everything out of my textbooks and my
own lab. As much as I love america, I would be glad to get the hell out to practice chemistry in a more free country. I honestly don't care if I never
got employed as a chemist in the future. I love chemistry for chemistry's sake, and the university has become more of a hinderance than a help....

Left school at 14. Kicked out of 5 high schools. Accepted into Autistic Superstar program for legends at same age where I got to attend a 4 day
workshop at UNSW where I picked a chemistry based workshop as they were to have a explosives and pyrotechnics display... Loved chemistry from the age
of 12 as I enjoyed making crude explosives, loved hobby rockets and found napalm to be awesomely brilliant... I learned all I good from the Brittanica
collection at my home (pre google innit)... as I grew I found myself obsessed with the action of my stimulant medication, the chemistry of the drug
(dextroamphetamine sulfate), the neurochem/science/biology of the brain and why the drug acted the way it did... I went to university to learn first
principles but found Calculus difficult with no maths background... I taught myself mathematics and from here the world of Physics was opened up to my
dumbarse... I discovered my hero Michael Faraday and his champion the great James Clarke Maxwell... I ignored biology but then thought myself stupid
as fuck for not wanting to understand the beauty of how DNA is transcribed... long story short I like science and used to be a massive hedonist
raver... I also enjoy Military history and weapons technology... My fave tank is the Sherman Firefly... fave gun is the British 17 pounder anti tank
gun (firing discarding sabot round... Tungsten core... Could penetrate even the might King Tiger of the Wermacht...)
