I'm not sure if chemists really exists.  (Working Chemists)
The only ones I have seen were professors but then the reason they are teaching might be because there is no actual jobs.  Either that's true or the reason they teach is because they're not good enough for a job but colleges will always take them. 
Maybe the jobs listed online are just a big hoax. 
Colleges push propaganda to convince you that giving them money will be a worthwhile investment.
Likely a lot of areas besides chemistry are also just recycled information.  In other words all fields could potentially be like philosophy.

It sounds absurd, and I've probably lost my mind by now but I can not prove they exist and therefore I question the existence.

Does anything you think exist actually exist?  Maybe you're just a bubble of consciousness and a malignant demon is forcing delusions on you.  But then again, maybe there are chemistry related jobs outside of academia.

Excuse me if this was just a satire on the declining economy's affect on chemistry related jobs.

Uh.  You're wrong.  i have a Bachelors Degree in Molecular Biology, and I've worked as a molecular biologist or as a chemist since college graduation in 1994.  I've worked with Ph.D. physicists, career chemists, and technicians with only a high school degree.  I made them coffee, and they drank it, so I know they were there.  Who would be developing new medicines, for example, if not chemists?  Who would be studying the structure of materials that have failed spectacularly?  Who would be screening people for drugs of abuse?  I've worked for major pharmaceutical producers and one of the best known plating bath companies.  I was unemployed, they had an opening, I had skills, I offered, they called me in, I put on an ugly, ill-fitting suit and chatted with them, and they told me to come work for them.  Simple, really.  Slow, but simple.

Yes and no. I worked in a factory that did electroplating and they had to do Water Treatment to remove all the heavy metals before it all went back into the watershed.

The Water treatment guy was prefered to have a Chrmistry degree--though I don't know that we ever had a Chem Graduate. Water Treatment Technichians were paid as much as Electricians{$18/HR; a few years ago--which I thought was a little insulting to our Electricians...}

Thing is, although the Water Dude did some titrations and some gas chromatography--he also spent a lot of time driving a forklift; werlding; humping big old 100 pound bags of Chemicals; and shoveling them intO steaming cauldrauns with a scoop shovel...

So Chemistry in an Industrial Operation is distressingly like Regular Honest Work...

Sitting in an air conditioned lab; on a padded lab stool; and rarely lifting anything heavier than a 1500 ML Florece Flask is a bit of a beddy-bye story for most...

Have you been to Africa? If no, then it must not exist.
