honestly though, chemistry is all about getting wet. Having a good basis in compchem as an undergrad is ideal. Working full time on computational is painfully boring and bad for your back, plus calculations take long enough that you might as well be setting up reactions while you're waiting. The cool thing about comp-chem is that it takes an often empirical science and brings the scientific method front & centre. You go Theory>prediction>experiment>theory until you make better chemistry and save the world one kcal at a time!! The future is interdisciplinary. You've got to have both. —
