I'm going to get a bachelors in chemistry and then probably a masters degree. Will my job options change much? I just want to become a pharmaceutical researcher/scientist hopefully. I know I can do that with a bachelors but will I get paid more with a masters?
I live in New Jersey and I'm told there are a lot of science jobs here.

Science jobs are everywhere.
Yes! You will get paid a lot more with a Master's Degree. The higher the degree, the better. I advise you to keep studying as long as possible, as people with Master's Degrees or higher are really sought after.
Most people with Master's in Chemistry end up teaching with a considerably good salary.
Also, you could be hired in a lab under a senior chemist.
Good luck!

With a masters, you would have a better chance of beating out people with bachelors only for jobs (and for higher up jobs, too, as well as more likely to be promoted).  But, a doctorate in chemistry would qualify you for so much more, with just a bit more education - jobs that neither a masters or bachelors qualify for.  

I recommend skimming job boards like Monster to get a clearer picture.

Money is, of course, always a limiting factor.
