Accepted Answer
While pursuing a degree in chemistry is the traditional path, it's possible to contribute to research without one. Here's how:
1. Technical Roles: Companies and institutions often hire individuals with strong technical skills, even without formal degrees. You can develop these skills through self-study, online courses, or internships.
2. Collaboration: Partnering with researchers as a technician or lab assistant can provide valuable experience. This allows you to learn hands-on techniques and contribute to projects.
3. Citizen Science: Participate in citizen science projects that engage volunteers in data collection and analysis, often in areas like environmental chemistry or drug discovery.
