Physics and chemistry are the most important sciences. Many discoveries in these areas seem really impressive, so young people often dream of becoming scientists. However, it is quite difficult to conduct scientific activity and not everyone can do it. But do not despair, there are many other professions related to physics and chemistry, perhaps some of them will also interest you.
List
- Chemist-technologist (chemist-engineer). This specialist is engaged in research and development of new substances. You can conduct theoretical scientific activity or conduct experiments and trials in practice. In addition to general knowledge in the field of chemistry, it will be necessary to choose a specialization and study this direction. You can work in the field of food industry, pharmacology, metallurgy, oil industry, cosmetology - there are quite a few options. This is a promising profession, as new developments are appreciated in any field.
- Ecologist. The profession requires knowledge not only in chemistry and physics, but also in biology and geography. All this is necessary in order to assess the causes of disasters, analyze the human impact on the environment and find solutions that will help minimize the harm done to nature. Given the sad state of ecology in the world, the profession will certainly not lose its relevance. After training, work can be found in various laboratories, government agencies, factories and construction companies.
- Material Science. Creating new materials is an important task. It is also necessary to test them for compatibility with other substances and evaluate the available properties.This profession is associated with physics, chemistry and mathematics, because you will need to conduct a lot of calculations and calculations. Such a specialty requires a responsible approach and a broad outlook. New materials obtained by scientists are used in the space industry, medicine, and allow the development of nanotechnology.
- Biotechnologist. Specialists of this profile are engaged in the study of living organisms. They can study the properties of plants and develop new varieties of vegetables or fruits, apply scientific methods to create drugs and even clone human organs. A biotechnologist needs to have a good knowledge of physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology. This profession is very prestigious, and if you wish, you can get a job in related specialties, if you want to change the scope of activity.
- Speleologist. This is a geologist who specializes in caves. He explores underground spaces, rivers and waters. There are also industrial cavers who research artificial dungeons - mine workings, drainage systems and urban communications. The profession can be dangerous and requires physical endurance, therefore, more often young men choose it, although there is no ban on girls from working in this field if they want to connect life with geology.
- Doctor. It is difficult to imagine modern medicine without chemistry, so future doctors carefully study it. Physics is also needed, for example, for dental technicians or developers of neuro prostheses. In addition, there is no way to do without biology, and mathematics is also often needed for admission. It is better to think in advance which area of medicine is closer to you in order to decide on a specialty and choose the necessary subjects.
- Teacher. If you like to share your knowledge, you can become a teacher by graduating from the faculty of physics and chemistry. You will be able to work in a school or university or become a tutor.
It is important here not only to have good knowledge in specialized subjects, but also to be able to find contact with students and interest them.
Learning Features
A suitable specialty can be obtained at the university. This requires passing the exam in certain subjects. In addition to chemistry and physics, Russian and mathematics are required. If the future profession is related to medicine, then biology cannot be dispensed with. For engineers and geologists, the list will most likely also include geography. When passing the exams, you need to try to score as many points as possible, since the competition for the specialties in demand is great. You can also pass the exam and enter the secondary special educational institution after grade 9.
It's easier to get to college or college, but they teach applied professions there. If you want to do science, then later you still have to go to college.
Where can I work?
The professions associated with chemistry and physics are very different, therefore there are a lot of employment options:
- it can be public research organizations and private companies conducting their developments;
- various industries - from food to oil;
- construction companies - relevant for ecologists, chemical engineers, materials scientists;
- medical organizations, biochemical laboratories, pharmacies.
Also a big plus of the specialties of the physico-chemical profile is that they are not tied to a specific area. You can find work in almost any city, which means that there will be no problems changing your place of residence.
