Finding a job ?!?!

So in about a month I'll be getting a piece of paper that says BSc.... and I need to find a job now that I'm finally done school... (W00T!)

Yesterday I called a guy Ive worked for before, and he is more then happy to hire me back to work around his classic Mercedes Benz car shop...

Its a sweet place to work... very easy going... but Im not exactly making $60k+ either....



Im looking to get into industry in Sarnia's chemical valley... but I might be willing to move pretty much anywhere for the right job.....

Does anyone have advice on landing a real job ?

A BSc is a Batchelor of Science. Pretty wide open unless one majored in something decent.

Aren't you already working in a "chemical laboratory"

I thought you were securing an engineering degree - most disciplines offer a community that affords career opportunities..

chemistry was my major, and I've had to work in a few labs to get the degree...... I know I mentioned some work with polymers before so that is what I was talking about.......




Id really like to find something that will help me get accredited as an engineer after I log in the hours it will take...... its just finding that job......

Not to mention, you don't need a degree to run a meth lab. You could drop out in middle school and run a meth lab.

theres a proctor and gamble plant and an invisita plant (used to be DuPont) both close to my city. both pay well.

i know a guy who used to work at invista as a chemist, he was making about $85-95K a year if IRC

i wouldn't be surprised if invista was looking for someone with a bsc with chemistry experience. they are a huge company (literally, they have their own police/fire/ambulance and are the size of a small town) and i know they pay well.
