Hello everyone!!! I have just finished my Msc degree in chemical engineering, my thesis was in wastewater treatment and my Bsc degree was in Chemistry. I have just started sending cvs for positions in the Analytical chemistry field. I wanted to ask..is a phD necessary if you want to work as an Analyst in large or small company? And what are the prospects you think for a new chemist with zero working experience? Some advice it would be great!! Thank you!!
