Doing A levels in the UK, I've narrowed my higher education fields to either organic chem or theoretical physics. I am able in and enjoy them both equally. So the only thing that will swing it either way for me is job prospects. Which has the best ratio of number of jobs : pay?
Many thanks

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 23 10:41:15 2011 No.2590929 Slight hijacker here. I love OChem and am going to do it at uni. Then I'm doing a PHD and Post-Doc. I want to be a lecturer. What chance do I stand?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 23 10:43:15 2011 No.2590937 >>2590922 On that basis it's probably going to be Ochem, i'm good at maths but if it's truly mindfuck maths then i'm not sure

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 23 11:04:15 2011 No.2591005 >>2590990 Organic Chemistry specifically something relating to carbon-carbon bond forming through organometallics.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 23 11:06:15 2011 No.2591010 >>2591005 If you are creative with your knowledge then you should be able to (maybe) patent something useful. At the least you could always teach the next generation.
