The St. Olaf Chemistry Major -- 10 Years Out

What will you be doing 10-20 years from now?

Well, of course, no one can say. But here is a compilation of what some of the alumni chemistry majors of St. Olaf College were doing 10-20 years after they graduated. 

This list is based on alumni data for chemistry major graduates of 1980-1990 residing in Minnesota as of 8/1/2001 (215 alumni; somewhat less than half of all alumni for this period). The list is separated into three areas: academic, business/industrial, and medical/spiritual. Rather than listing the same information multiple times, a single entry in this table may represent more than one graduate. The exact number of graduates with each specific combination of major and career path is not indicated.
