Get good marks your first year. Gen Chem courses are mostly stoichiometry and working with aqueous solutions. O Chem gets fun.

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.

Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

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.
