You may want to take a look at the Nov 24 issue
of "Chemical and Engineering News". This issue is
dedicated to employment outlook, and they discuss
various aspects of careers for chemists.

Subject: ORGLIST:MSc or PhD ?

Hello, all

I am a graduate student, major - organic chemistry (synthesis).

I've heard a rumor that if you are a MSc its much easier to find a job than
for PhD, for example in pharmaceutical companies. I know that audience of
this mail-list is pretty diverse.
So, my questions: Is what I said above right?

Also I want to know, do companies accept people with PhDs for MSc jobs?

If the number of PhD jobs is strictly limited I don't understand why people
are trying to pursue them so hard.

Could you recommend me what degree I should get (MSc or PhD) if I want to
work in a pharmaceutical company. Also, is post-doc required after PhD?

I would appreciate any comments on these issues. I would like to learn about
your experience in this respect.

Oleg Nadein
