The employment prospects of chemistry majors in the United States are still quite good. Among them, students majoring in organic chemistry are most likely to enter big pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Lilly, DuPont, Dow Chemical, GE, BP, Shell and ExxonMobil. Generally, the starting salary of master graduates in this major is about 50,000 to 70,000 dollars, and the starting salary of doctoral graduates is 80,000 to 90,000 dollars.
The chemistry major in the United States is mainly divided into two directions, science and engineering, and the engineering direction is generally called chemical engineering. The partial theory of chemistry in the direction of Neo-Confucianism is not very good for employment (only in the United States), and generally continues to study PhD after graduation. Chemical engineering is applied, and it is relatively easy to find a job after graduation. Bayer, DuPont and other pharmaceutical companies, followed by oil companies, Mobil and so on.
Schools with good chemistry direction include Stanford, Princeton, CMU, Northwest, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Rice and Washington. MIT, CIT, Berkeley, Minnesota Twin Cities, Austin, Texas, University of California, Barbara, Georgia Institute of Technology, Madison, Wisconsin, etc. Which is better in chemical engineering depends on other requirements of the applicant, such as language scores and GPA.
