I was basically wondering whether I could have a job that pays decently well after I get my chemistry degree. I am easily swayed by money as I have come from a lower class background where my family income is very low. I really want a job that pays well and offers financial security for me and my family.
Thanks![]()

If you intend to use your degree to work in a lab or something then you will be paid enough to live a comfortable life. If you just want to make money then a chemistry degree (assuming high attainment) will give you access to grad schemes and thus a professional career. Outside of this, the job you end up doing and how much it pays you will depend on far more than your degree which, in 99% of cases, will just mean you meet the basic requirements of the role.
You need the degree so that you can tick that box - if you can get any kind of useful work experience that will make your post-university job search much easier. -
