I don't think Chemistry in and of itself is a thing, or was it ever. It always has to be applied to something, and then the possibilities are endless. After all, everything is made of chemicals, isn't it? Personally, I'm in food, I also have an MSc in Food Engineering, and currently preparing to start a PhD in that area (NIR spectroscopy, Hyperspectral Image Analysis). But there is also the oil, pharma, bio, environmental, etc. areas. (Also, in British English "Chemist" means "Pharmacist". I always wondered, what they called a Chemist?)

A shop that sells pharma products is often colloquially called 'a chemists' but the people who work there are typically referred to as pharmacists. 'Chemistry' as studied at school and Uni is totally about chemicals in general and not drugs (which would be pharmacology). Someone who described themselves as a chemistry student or professor would almost inevitably be perceived as someone who is working with chemicals.
