Does anyone have any experience or know about a premed student who majored in nuclear chemistry??
What is the job outlook for such?

There are 3 results for nuclear chem majors if you use the above link and type in "nuclear chemistry" into the handbook - the DOL Occupational Outlook Handbook is a fantastic resource, and isn't propaganda for marketing a college- it's census data. It's the only site I use for job data. The field looks like it is significantly declining based on past numbers, the projection looks slower than average.
