Hi, Currently I am a student going for a B.S. in chemistry. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what would be a good job, and what the job entails. Additionally, i plan to get my masters in nuclear chemistry. I have a few ideas on what kind of job i would like, but i want to hear what is available out there for nuclear chemists.

Thanks

With only a BS you can't expect a whole lot. Some people get lucky and land a dream job, but many become lab techs and end up doing really repetitive stuff. You've got the right idea going for your masters.
