      Do you mean an undergraduate degree? I think it shouldn’t be too difficult to get a space on a degree, as less and less people seem to be interested in studying in Chemistry. However, once you’re on it, it’s the same as with any other degree, you have to put the works and efforts in to keep up with the classes and assignments. If you’re seriously interested in Chemistry, I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you to study it…and chemists can work in many related fields thereafter as well.

      Chemists can do a lot of different jobs, so it is imminently possible to have a very successful career in Chemistry. My undergraduate degree was in Chemical Physics, and I was lined up to be a Chemical Engineer for a couple of years before I fell in love with the physics!
