    if you don’t mind, what field are you in that you were examined in ochem but you don’t use ochem? last time i’ve checked, chatbots crap the bed constantly when asked about anything that you can deduce (easily, by analogy) but can’t find, especially as text, the mistakes were either glaring or sneaky but never correct. it’s much easier to express what you mean by drawings in ochem anyway

      My last ochem was during my bachelor’s, which is a painfully long time ago. Everyone had to take it. Did my masters and PhD in crystals and materials, before realizing I never wanted to do anything in academia ever again.

      Now I work in workplace safety and hazardous materials handling and regulation. Which is all very chemistry-related, but involves almost no actual chemistry. So I guess it’s a bit of a copout. I’m relatively sure I could still do anything related to materials science without organic chemistry though.
