Master lumberjack, worth it or not?
Hey congrats fellow chemist (= I probably will start Master Program in february, about computational organic chemistry. Hope I will open a topic with a GA after I got my degree too! (:

Congrats for your achievement! You must have fought hard to get it

Nice going, and I must say that Chemistry is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most noble field of science there is

Nice! Congratulations, kryten! :D

Just out of curiousity: In which field did you make your master? Anorganics, Organics, Theoretical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytics, Biochemistry? If you say Organics or Biochemistry I need to shake my head in disbelief and need to start to disrespect you O.o

my master is in inorganic nonmetal compunds, my main is materials > polymers, ceramics, glass, ruber...

I'm not quite sure how I shall Interpret the > sign but it sounds like a good research field. So you are content with the results you generated?
Comment has been collapsed.
sign > stands in as "i.e."
im satisfied with results as my thesis was new sorbent for sulfur removal from gas, and it actually removed sulfur! :D

Well, how shall I explain this. If you study something long enough you'll start to dislike certain fields ^^ Not everything in your study will go well and you need someone to blame for it. Also often (for some strange reason) you will find people with the same mindset in one research field and less in another one. It is basically like school ^^

Hmm, I just wrote a long reply, but now it's gone =/. You have no idea how well I recognize that from school ^^. I just thought that people from biochemistry do really badass stuff =D

Gratz. i remember mine... what a load off
hope you get a job soon ;)

Molecular drift?
j/k
may i ask what did you work on? i'm working on pesticides, so knows a bit (lot) about chemistry.
favorite subject in undergrad was organic chemistry

i made sorbent for sulphur removal from hot gasses used mainly for igcc or pre syngas natural gas cleanup.
Comment has been collapsed.
nice. artificial sorbent?
do you have a use for the removed sulphur? i mean, if it's clean maybe you can sell it.
i always think like an environmental engineer, and what you did is awesome

i worked on sorbent which is regenerable and sulfur can be used as elemntal sulfur, as sulfur dioxie for further synthesis, or as hidrogen sulfide.....

Gratz man, i still cannot finish mine since 2012 ...

Congratulations! D
You have proven yourself in effort, skill, and sheer determination. This is an accomplishment worth celebrating.

What's your recommendation on books/videos for people to just get started in chemistry?
Comment has been collapsed.
for videos you have good lectures online from MIT and for books start from basic chemistry from highschool books...

You could have just said you didn't know any and that would have been fine too. It's better than assuming that everyone has a complete mastery of everything leading up to chemistry and that any DVD series or book will be suitable. It's like you think I haven't been through hundreds of them already.

That's awesome! Congrats!
I'm starting a masters degree in Chemistry myself in a few days :)

Congratulations! I'm still a grad student, but I already have plans for my masters. I can't wait. Are you going for a doctorate as well?
Comment has been collapsed.
nope, not going for doctorate cause i wont be able to find a job with doctorate, its a bit paradoxal but so is my country! :D

Interesting. Here in Brazil (I believe) there are plenty of jobs for people with doctorate degrees, but then again what do I know :P

Like here (in Poland) you either are extremely lucky and are able to stay at uni to work or are mostly unemployed after getting PhD. Companies don't hire much people with PhD degree so if someone with PhD really want to do something in their field of study they emigrate most of the time.

since i got my masters degree in chemistry few hours ago its in line for me to make mandatory contribution.... if i had more money id get you whole pack... good luck, have fun

Edit:
Tnx all for your support, and hope ill get a job soon so i can make bigger gibaway for employment
