not really, besides most things you actually DO in undergrad chemistry and in most labs as a chemist deal with objects with most of that abstract stuff requiring not much more than a rudimentary understanding unless you're in some kind of lab filled with folks looking to cure cancer or do some sort of nuclearchemistry or something. You forget most of that shit after you finish your required physical chemistry class and thinking about it makes you shudder and squeeze whatever is in your hands really hard.
chemsity can be pretty complex and math-heavy, but it's still pretty concrete. the abstract stuff in physical chemistry is still physics, its just like a studying strong and weak nuclear forces and then applying the chemistry to them, right?
i guess i didn't take al ot of chemistry, but from what i gather, it is pretty testable, but in physics there's a lot of "soooo dark matter.... it's there, i swear. you just can't see it... and.. we don't really know what it is" or "gravity is just a way to explain something, it doesn't actually exist... we just... can't prove it"...
@mark: really? i was just about to ask esiann if you can get any kind of job with just a undergrad or even with a masters, other than like... uh, at a museum or something.
@esiann: please give more info on this. it is cool-sounding. what kind of job do you wnat from it?
