I always liked the subject when I was in high school, and I'm now enrolled in Chem 1 for the summer semester. I felt like it would be a fulfilling job that I would look forward to getting up everyday to go do. Anyone have advice for me?

Hard work, but worth the education derived. I signed an Organic contract to never use my powers for evil/illegal activities. Although I don't respect the law in its regulation of chemicals, I just can't imagine ever disappointing my little old chem prof/adviser

Yeah chemistry is wonderful
After years and years of boredom I finally found something that intrinsically motivates me... Thus I can't wait when i'm starting in september 
Been a while since i've been in a school situation but thankfully i'm 18 now and it's a whole lot diffirent then sitting behind a bench and mastering prechewed information.

i was pursuing the chemistry road to being a broke ass teacher, then i realized i hate fucking doing calculus. chemistry was fun, but slaving through anything after calc 2 and some physics bullshit, was, well bullshit. so now im going for a much more practical educational route, the accounting degree.

chemistry is nice for the practical uses of it of course. I have a friend who's chemist I've already asked a dozen times if he wouldn't synthesize me some MDMA and he says he doesn't want to risk it

Be prepared for a long, long road of education. Most people don't pursue it when they learn how long the education/training takes. This depends a bit on your definition of "chemist though".

Tons. As a brief example, modern pharmacology relies heavily on in silico computer modeling. A computer can generate 100's of "potential target compounds", and then they need to be synthesized by a chemist.
A lead chemist though, typically has a PhD, which is 12+ years of post high school education.

Chemistry is awesome. Get ready to study until your brain is a fine paste, though. This shit is the real deal, and you have to study many hours a week and be good at math to keep up. It's so fucking worth it when you apply theory to practice in the laboratory, though.
I'm not even talking about drugs, I'm just talking about predicting the yield of a given reaction down to the milligram. You feel like God when your abstract math comes to life before your eyes.
