Chemistry is the study of matter and the manner in which it changes and reacts, as well as the laws governing those reactions. Chemists spend their time searching for new knowledge about substances and putting that knowledge to practical use. Chemists often specialize in a sub-field of chemistry, such as analytical, organic, inorganic, physical or biochemistry. Over half of all chemists work in research and development, either basic or applied. Applied researchers create new products or improve existing ones, often using knowledge gained by basic researchers. Another 15-20 percent of chemists work in production and inspection of new products of foods. Others work as marketing or sale representatives; still others opt for teaching at the secondary or college level.
