    Engineering Is it true that no one will hire older engineers?

    What about health care costs? I've heard one of the main reasons old engineers are discriminated against is that. I didn't literally mean "no one," I meant few employers. Using the term "no one" when one actually means "very few" is a common usage. I think basically what you're saying is...

    Engineering Is it true that no one will hire older engineers?

    I've recently returned to school and am thinking about majoring in ChemE (heard it was very high-paying and the curriculum looks interesting) but, after surfing the web some, I've come across some disturbing stuff. I've been reading that no one wants to hire older engineers. This is very...

    Physics vs. Chemical engineering, difficulty

    I've heard that engineering (generally) is less difficult than physics but I've also heard that ChemE is the most difficult engineering degree to get. So which is more difficult to get: a B.S. in Physics of a B.S. in ChemE? If ChemE is eaiser, exactly how much easier is it: considerably or only...

    Programs Physics major needs advice on choosing a minor

    Not really my cup of tea. The subjects I'm most interested in besides physics are chemistry and mathematics. Never really been much interested in CS.

    Programs Physics major needs advice on choosing a minor

    Are you on a strict time limit for graduation? Not really. The physics chairman at my university highly encourages a minor in mathematics along with a physics major for students looking to do research in physics. At the school I'll be attending, they don't allow physics majors to minor in...

    Programs Physics major needs advice on choosing a minor

    I'm going for a B.S. in physics and haven't decided yet whether I'm going to use my elective credits to minor in chemistry double major in B.S. mathematics. Eventually, I'd like to do graduate work in cosmology or nuclear or theoretical physics. Which of these two options (if either) would be...

    Scientists heed call, but few can find jobs

    Came across this a few months ago and thought it might be of interest here. This excerpt was most interesting to me: link

    Chemical engineering with a phyisics dgree?

    Chemical engineering with a physics degree? I'm currently in college and have decided to major in physics with a minor in chemistry. Can this type of bachelor's degree get me a job as a chemical engineer? Before anyone asks, I don't want to get a degree in chemical engineering because I might...
