Bachelor's degree in chemistry. Is it worth it?
Hi,
I'm currently in my first semester and I don't understand anything here. I've also already been kicked out of the general chemistry internship because I failed the final exam. I can repeat the internship in a later semester, but I'll have different internships in the next semesters. Now to the question: Is studying chemistry so worthwhile that I should continue, or would another degree program without many internships and without much experience be better?
Thanks for your upcoming opinion.

Whether it is worth studying depends only on your interest.
Especially for chemistry, you should create at least the master to work as a real chemist. Only the Bachelor is not worth it. Then it would be bad to make a CTA training. Alternatively, you could also look around for chemical engineering, process engineering or the like. As a Bachelor of Engineering, my experience has higher chances of being recognized later in professional life than the academic one you are. But you still have to understand the subject, which are engineering sciences – which I can tell from my own experience – not a dispensed version of the natural sciences but cognitively require exactly the same, only with a different focus.
Well, as you describe it yourself, you have neither theoretically nor practically the “drive” you need in order to successfully complete a chemical study.
So either you tear on the belt and sit on the trouser floor (which lasts for the next 4 years) or you pull the tear line and do something else.
My Tip: Try chemistry with a great deal of elan until the end of the first semester. At the same time, you’re looking for something different than Plan B. Then you decide.
If you don’t understand anything at all, you don’t have sufficient knowledge and/or no interest in the subject. I personally did the maths only in the second run, but I had no problems with chemistry and physics. I had no physics at school in 12 and 13.
Depends on: Is chemistry your one and all? If you don’t, you should find something else. Chemistry is not a study to try something.
In addition, as far as I know, the career prospects are very lean only with Bachelor in Chemistry. You will then have to do a master’s degree.
Look for another subject, but not chemistry.
As long as you don’t understand.
