Pick three of your favourite chems and study the recipes for them. Easy as baking a cake...or not.

Dude you aren't going to be taking "different" types of chemistry until you're already advanced to a certain degree and then you get into specifics.

You'll have more than enough to study in Chemistry 101 where the weeding out process begins. An intro course will touch on different branches of chemistry for sure though.

A basic chemistry degree covers everything (organic, inorganic, biochem, analytical, instrumental, nuclear, etc.).

It depends on *why* you like chemistry.

My degree will be in biochem because I like applying the analytical aspect of chemistry to biological systems. I like learning about the "fundamental" inner workings of biological systems.

After your second year you will have gen chem and organic chem under your belt and by that time you should have a good idea of what parts of chemistry you like most and want to focus on.

study chemical engineering...

you'll get a job easy and make a shit ton of money if you dun end up in high level research.

WARNING - DON'T DO TOO MUCH DRUGS AND CHANGE UR MAJOR TO SOMETHING STUPID.

always keep ur eye on the job market.  watever they say they want in the job descriptions, study that.

I feel like you're going to fail.

It's not interesting, it will destroy your mind with bullshit and maths before you even pass the first semester.

I did 2.5 years, full organic chem, didn't synth a single fucking thing that interested me one bit.

No your worries are the highly academic subjects from day 1 that relate in absolutely no way to your interests.

If you want to study tertiary chem, go study it... but don't be surprised when you do 40-60 hour weeks for 4 years and don't encounter anything that interests you.

Lab work is boring as fuck, trust me.  Have you done it?  It's not all glamorous like it is on TV, if you have that depiction of it.

Now if you're synth'ing fun things that's another story, but you're probably gonna get boned by Uncle Sam in the end if that's your overall intent.

You will be doing experiments that reinforce known knowledge.

You will not get to do a single original thing in 4 years in the labs.

Not saying org labs aren't fun, 3rd year was an absolute hoot (synthing B12 was sick), but you you are highly supervised by grad students/tech and tightly bound to a subject curriculum.

Anything slightly related to illegal substances (in Australia) was under lock & key + 24/7 cameras. 2nd year+ org chem labs were accessed by student ID + fingerprint.

Look up the synths of the chemicals you want to make

Read them until you understand them.

No studies required so you can focus on something that DOES interest you.

Depends on what you mean by being a "chemist".

Many would say that a 4-yeard degree in chemistry allows you to be a "lab tech".  And the pay is squat.

uhm, this is relvalant to me.  I'm applying for college to study chemistry.  My plan was to take the math and physics first to see if i can deal with it, then once i do the general chem pick a sub field that interests me.  Hopefully bio-chem.  So i can create a virus to kill all the mosquitoes.

Do you really need THAT much math in chemistry?  isn't it all pretty basic maths?  Adding and subtracting what nots?

Chemistry isnt too math heavy, but its there.  Of course math difficulty is highly relative.

Most of the chemists I work with had to take two semesters of calculus.  Some schools require more, with some vector calculus, differential equations and linear algebra - this is basically what engineers and physicists have to take for their B.S.

So you certainly need more than adding and subtracting.  The bare minimum would be calculus, but to be good you will need differential equations and linear algebra.  Depends alot on what type of chemistry you do too.  The o-chem people are math noobs while the p-chem people are very mathematical.
