CHEMICAL TECHNICIAN
Education And Training
Two-year programs leading to an A.A. are available in many community colleges. This is recommended to anyone seeking a quality job in chemistry, although it is not necessary for entry-level positions. It is crucial to take as much math as possible. Most employers offer on-the-job training and some require that applicants take a test to show their level of proficiency. While a background in general chemistry is important, it is wise to specialize, first in organic or inorganic chemistry, and then narrowing your focus even further. Specialists can command the best jobs, both in terms of salary and in responsibility and working conditions.
