Help me! Now imagine that you are a reporter. Your local high school has decided to do away with chemistry class because no one seems to want to take it. You have been asked to do a five-minute news segment on the ways that keeping the chemistry class can positively impact the community.

How did chemistry prepare each of these people for their career?

What opportunities was each person able to take advantage of as a result of their background in chemistry?

What is the career outlook for each of these careers?

How you get into the field

Typical pay

How fast this career is expected to grow

How does each person’s work benefit the community? (This will help people understand the importance of offering chemistry to those who are still in school.)

It’s up to you to convince your viewers that chemistry can be useful in planning their career paths!
