      Hi, maybe if you became the head of a very successful company or made a discovery which you could patent, that everyone wanted to use? I am sure it is possible though

      Some chemists get very rich, for example if they patent a great idea or set up a successful company. It is possible… but chemistry isn’t required for being rich. Lots of chemists I know don’t have very much money at all – so its all down to an individuals motivations and abilities.

      I’m not a chemist so I don’t really know but I suppose if you invented a block buster drug that could earn you a fair bit.
