Career Corner Believe it or not, sophomore year is the perfect time to start thinking about life after college. For those of you taking organic chemistry in your junior or senior year, it is even more imperative for you to start planning the future. If you are a science major, and especially if you are a chemistry major, you will have many choices. You may be considering graduate school, medical school, another type of professional school, or industry. These are the traditional choices for most science students.
