I'm presently interested in chemistry and have been for a few years. I am looking into studying chemistry in college and to receive a job in a chemical field. What jobs offer good sums of money but would involve work in the chemical field? Also, what schools would be good for this?  Thinking ahead.

At present Medicinal and synthetic chemist's seem most in demand but that may not be the same when you reach the job market.

My advice to you is to ingnore the monetary aspect and study general chemistry then follow whichever path interests you most. Your working life can be 30+ years, doing a job you don't like just because the money was better will not satify you as much as a job you like.

Also, doing something you like which stimulates you, is far more likely to bring career progression than a job which you tolerate for the money.
