I picked to research this career because the sciences have always fascinated me. I, unfortunately, cannot define my exact reasons for my choice to become a chemist, but I can attribute some of it to helping out my sister with her higher level chemistry studying. There was just something about it that sparked an interest in me.

On a Personal Note

A thing I found surprising about a job as a chemist was how low the job growth was between the years 2010-2020, which was at about 4%.
