Go to community college get some professional training and you could get a job with it. Other than that, I have found home chemistry to gt more personal rewards than money.

Indeed!  I have made between 35 and 50$ an hour doing this.

I have also heard buying and selling chemicals on ebay can be profitable.

Perhaps a business license?  Not sure what country you are in but as long as you stay away from drug and chemical weapon precursors, no license is usually needed.

Cannot say I am very experienced in this area though, so I may be incorrect.

I've been planning on setting up a chemical supply house myself for a good while. Your saying theres no license needed for that kinda thing as long as your not dealing watched or radioactive chemicals?

There are a lot of things that are controlled depending on county or political boundary
Not just drugs or explosives
