Well Joyxx… I am a chemist. A chemist deals with molecules and compounds, they make manipulate analyse and measure many different parameters to understand things on a molecular level.

Chemistry is pretty much everywhere.. plastics are made my chemists, food is analysed and made my chemistry, washing powder, inks, paints, everything around you is probably made by a chemical process.

Some chemists concentrate on making things: Process Chemists
Some chemists don’t touch any chemicals and calculate possible reactions by computers: Computational chemist
Some chemists measure the physical effects of compounds: physical chemist
some chemists use metals to make compounds: inorganic chemist
some chemists like me build compounds of Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen and Nitrogen: Organic chemist.
