Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go ...

We just ran a Google job search for "chemists" and "biochemists" in a 60-mile radius from South Bend (excluding Illinois) and found over 30 positions available (not including pharmacy jobs and internships). The results were not exhaustive (there are more positions) and some of the positions require experience, or further study, that a fresh graduate would not have. Still, the results look promising:
