I graduated from From 6 and took my STPM last year. Since long time ago, i was uncertain to choose my future degree path. I have interest in Chemistry since Form 4. When I entered Form 6, I chose Biology stream rather than Physics stream as I was poor in Physics. For my 1.5years in Form 6 life, I confirmed that I would like to further my study to field of Chemistry than Medic. This may be because I hate to memorise thing just to overcome the examination.

Initially, I would like to apply for Pure Chemistry in IPTA and USM this year. However, I am uncertain after listened to my friends and teachers. My Chemistry teacher told me to go for Education and then take Chemistry which will lead to a stable future while my friends said that Chemistry Engineering has a better future than Pure Chemistry. Both of teachers and friends said that Pure Chemistry graduate hardly find a job.

I personally really like to study Chemistry and wish to further my study with courses related to Chemistry, however I scare that I hardly find job after graduate. So, can anyone experienced advise me about this? The application for degree study starts today and I still not sure that whether should I go for Pure Chemistry. Thanks for advance.

This means that in Chemical Engineering study mostly about Physics and less on Chemistry? My teacher also said if study pure Chemistry then only turn to education will come out later as others who just took education.
