43. Chemistry is a great career choice -- my dad was a food chemist, flavorist & scientist for over 50 years

Tell your daughter to look into chemist jobs in the food industry, especially jobs for "flavorists". My dad specialized in flavors for food, drinks and pharmaceuticals.

You may have run across my dad's work when you were raising your daughter. My dad invented the sweet candy grape flavor for Children's Dimetapp!

Here's an article explaining what a "flavorist" does on a daily basis:
