What careers in chemistry are available to me?

Mike: What careers in chemistry are available to me?
I’m very interested in chemistry. I’m a sophomore in high school. I was wondering what the difference is between organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, etc. And also, what would I have to do to get a job as a pharmacist? Or something which would be creating new drugs or finding new chemicals?

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: chemistry: Organic chemistry is a discipline within chemistry which involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds that contain carbon.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY: is the study of the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials.

BIOCHEMISTRY: is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other bio molecules.

In order to become a pharmacist..
