Need to make a new compound? Use a carcinogen
Need to neutralize a reactive compound? Carcinogen
Need to clean your glassware? Believe it or not, carcinogen.
Chemists have the most applicable skills of any science majors, and it’s all because of carcinogens.

To quote an old professor: “there isn’t a lab table dirty enough that a little benzene won’t clean it!”
He also habitually turned his head sideways when working with, say, ether, because you dont want your pipe to set the fumes on fire.
