Thank you!!! I have a question out of curiosity. When I complete my masters in cosmetic science does anyone have insight into how likely a job will be willing to relocate me for a chemist position? By then I will have 3 years of experience in the industry (not r&d) and the M.S.

Hello everyone. Just an update I stayed in my position at the contract manufacturer and I was accepted and now enrolled in the Cosmetic Science masters program at University of Cincinnati. Thank you for all of the advice!

Thank you for your advice Mark! It really cleared things up for me

Thank you so much! That has been my number one question. I wasn’t sure if employers would value chemistry experience over industry experience. I got chemistry experience in undergrad via internships and research but i definitely intend to get more while at my current job to get the most out of it

Yes the masters program is set up for students to work while attending. I am applying for the spring 2018 semester. I’ve already begun establishing a relationship with the R&D chemist so that’s a great idea. Thanks!

Thank you for the advice! Do you have an email I can get in contact with you with for the future?

So I should stay in my current position even though it’s a quality control technician job? Not QC chemist?

Hi everyone, 

My name is Stephanie. I recently got my B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Cincinnati and I currently work at a cosmetic contract manufacturer in quality control and my goal is to become a cosmetic formulator after getting my Masters in Cosmetic Science from my alma mater.

Unfortunately I can’t share the full IL due to confidentiality but I figured I would give it a shot in the forum anyway.
