When you were in college and decided on a Chemistry major, what did you think are your career options?  If you are like most of us, we either continue to attend graduate school to get a master or PhD in chemistry, attend medical school or other health related advanced degree, or we start working as a bench scientist.  Fortunately, while most of us who started our career journey with the few well-known options, many of us have been able to excel across a variety of industries and functions.

These skills and traits can accelerate or stall your career trajectory.
