(Q) Chemistry for future studies
Hello everybody, I'm here again.
I'm getting closer and closer to the University. Unfortunately I still haven't make up my mind to choose which courses. This is because I don't know
the scope of the chemistry courses and it's hard to find or Google without knowing the real words for the courses, I'm here to please and ask all the
professionals out there to help me out, please.
I slowly quit my ambition as a Pilot (because I can't) and going for chemistry.
Let me provide more information about my self so that you guys can give me or suggest me a proper courses for me. I always think about future 
I love those NurdRage videos, and other chemistry video in YouTube. Mostly everything if related to chemistry. But I more love about pyrotechnics and
energetic material. I love everything just more love EN and Pyrotechnics.
Hence I also love the Royal Institution (RI) and University of Nottingham videos. Because it's related to chemistry. I love the synthesis of bromine
in the YouTube it's cool to manufacture those fume and hazard bromine.
Is this related to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry or others?
I thinking of studying energetic material but it seems not a main courses. It should be under either once of the chemistry main course.
To be honest I don't really know the meaning of organic, inorganic chemistry and others.
My future work i hope it's work in lab but not office..
Just like NurdRage working in the lab, dealing with chemicals.
My country is a petroleum and rubber country, they are a lot of petroleum and rubber chemistry which is I don't like  because it only focus on petroleum and rubber, what I want is like everything in
chemistry..
May I know what courses should I get? Suggestions?
What work will I be at or how is it like?
Job maximum pay?
Thank you everybody. Please don't harsh me with hard words as I come here to learn chemistry and too bad my country is a developing country and no
much forums like this.
Thank you!

Well, you'd probably be out of luck looking for jobs in the area of energetic materials, unless you want to make fireworks professionally or
something. It's highly doubtful that there are any courses about energetics offered in colleges.
Although petroleum and rubber don't seem that interesting, there is a ton of organic chemistry related to petroleum and its byproducts, since they are
the source of many chemicals.
As for actual jobs, it's very unlikely to find a job that deals with "like everything in chemistry." It would be much more likely for you to be able
to find a job in a specific field of chemistry, whatever is available, and then spend your spare time continuing to do chemistry at home. For
instance, you can continue doing energetics unprofessionally, if that's your main interest.
I can't really give much more in the way of specifics, as I'm also preparing to go to college soon, and am also not sure about what I would like to do
professionally.

RMC in Canada has an explosives chemistry class.
LMU Munich has an explosives chemistry class.
Pretty sure one of the UK universities has one as well.
