Hopefully in a couple of years i'll finish uni and get my msc in chemistry. Though its a long time away, do any of you know of any way I could use my degree to go into a job within the pyrotechnic industry. i.e. is there any pyrotechnic research carried out anymore?
Pyrotechnic jobs with a chemistry degree?

There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.

Yes there are still things researched! Whether they require you to have a Masters isn't so certain. Deeper research will find you likely institutions where research into energetic materials and their use is researched. It's very likely that these will research into military uses for materials.
Almost all fireworks development is done in the far east, they have a tradition and disposable staff, and no health and safety legislation to bother with!
Where are you doing your masters?
Drop me an email!

I'm gonna hopefully do a similar thing, only I plan to go into defence science. Have a look at the DSTL website. The british government part-privatised the defence science industry a few yers ag, so now most of the top secret work is done by DSTL and the rest (around 75%) by a company called Quinetiq.
