Chemist Job Questions & Answers

I spent 30 years of my life as a member of various company from simple chemist jobs to plant manager in south korea. I have not earned enough money for the rest of my life but should support 3 kids 2years more. Probably I may burn my save out for them and find new job to get my earning again. I hate my old job acting as a managing member of chemical company uner any owner. I would like to do self-employment at any way. so I am studing to be a realtor which is most popular in Korea. what I mostly concern is 'will this job be the best for my 2nd life?' I am losing physical power and dignity through jobless life and feel more weakness in my health.

Im in highschool and very interested in chemistry. If I go into the field, I want to be the guy that makes the actual product, or tests theories. The actual hands on job. For ex. If a company is researching a new drug and how to make it, I want to be the one to,make it and put it all together. Is there a title for this kind of work? And eventually Id probably like to actually research and invent the product. Is that job possible? What are the requirements? I've been think about a major in chemistry. Thanks, and also not interested in chemical engineering.

I'm doing a project in chemistry class about jobs relating to chemistry. I was the last one to get to choose, and there was only one left, which I knew nothing about. So I asked if I could do something to do with bombs. But I can't find ANY websites relating bombs with chemistry. Please help! 1. That website did not talk about bombs. At all. 2. I know that there is a chemical reaction, I need sources to describe the work of a bomb technician.
