You can send a guy with a chemistry degree to the academy and teach him everything he needs to know to be a cop in a few months, but you can't just send a police officer off for a few months to learn everything there is to know about being a chemist. A chemistry degree opens a lot of doors for drug related jobs that you just couldn't do without one. Most police will really try to talk young people who want to be police out of majoring in criminal justice because pretty much all you can do with that is be a generic cop. Other popular suggestions are forestry, finance, and computer science.Chris Croyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557634731238706123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-3724112531194964542012-10-08T13:28:41.967-04:002012-10-08T13:28:41.967-04:00I'm not aware of any programs that offer a BS ...I'm not aware of any programs that offer a BS within a specific field of chemistry, but I suppose you could make the case for it based on research experience and advanced coursework. Although I have a BS in chemistry, I'd certainly say that my "specialty" is organic.<br /><br />Cool story, though! I imagine there are all kinds of interesting combinations of careers and degrees out there...Matt Regnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653855700711110544noreply@blogger.com
