An update, I now have a small paying Saturday job with flexible hours. I basically got the job so I could pay for more Chemicals and to get some money in the Kitty. When I have got what I needed I'll quit.

A student in Computer Science in Canada. I have an interest in Computers and Chemistry, so to sate the two loves, Cheminformatics is the path I shall probably go down. I'm told I should be able to make a tidy living off it. If that fails, I could allways become a Medical Doctor.

Running a small distillery presently, cheap wine---ethanol under vacuum---dilute to catering grade vodka for weddings and stuff. However in parallel am taking three years during this to try to create a new fine liquor product, you know like Mr Campari and Mr jaermeister did. Am hating it, worst decision ever, want to just see it out, sell up and go back to research, which will be tough as it will have been a decade by the time i'm ready, hopefully i won't need to be paid for a couple of years, this always makes one an attractive candidate. if that doesn't work out i might go land demining somewhere where its needed, thats the only other thing i can think of i might want to do.

Originally undergrad in chem, hons in industrial org, PhD in Mat Eng (polymer film additives), whilst 'consulting' in the uni's commercial arm, worked for two years in research (on JSF epoxies which still are not finished lmoa), opened a bar, opened my first distillery, opened a cafe, got embezzled by my sister, lost everything, sat on couch for two-three years, then got some investors together for this current thing.
i need a drink.

Got my first job in a lab today. Asked my advisor at uni if she knew of any scientific menial labour positions available, and yes!, she did. I clean and organize dirty glassware, and get to keep what they throw out (which is a lot - she found a rotovap and vac. pump in the trash and got them to work). It's a soil analysis lab, testing for the presence of various contaminants. If her new grants come through, then she brings me on full time as an undergrad assistant. Believe me, I'm not in it for the money, but I'm happier than a pig in shit.

I stumbled on this thread and am just in awe of many of the posters - they make me feel narrow minded.

I'm a retired chemical engineer turned hobby chemist. I have worked in synthetic rubber, pulp & paper, and nuclear fuel processing/waste management.

I am a student (undergraduate chemistry major), and I work in a research lab at my university. My job mainly involves organic synthesis, which is my favorite part of chemistry, so I'm quite happy with it.
