Some more:
A day job perhaps. A chemistry technician would have access to a whole
range of equipment and supplies.
Basic skills:
Making, analysing and purifying chemicals safely.
Calculating stuff (eg. how much propane you need to fill a room with the
correct fuel air mix.....)
Example chemicals:
Explosives, drugs, contact poisons, nerve gasses, laxitives, perfumes,
stentches, smokes, alcohol (distilling moonshine), thermite, viagra,
glues, lubricants, strong corrosives, home made bombs,
You will also know about how things react and what protective equipment
is usefull. (Surgical latex gloves are useless againts organic
solvents....)
