Hello, My post concerns getting jobs after my Masters degree in Chemical Engineering. I am currently in my 4th/senior year for a BS Chemical Engineering degree. I got accepted in a fifth-year program, so I can spend one more year at school and get my Masters degree. I am excited because I love...

Hello, I am concerned for my future. I am interested in Chemical engineering as a subject, but the idea of spending my career making chemicals, being in oil/gas, or even in pharmaceuticals depresses me. I would like to get involved with environmental engineering, or work in sanitation or...

Lisab - Thank you, I am definitely happy knowing there are good options either route. In regards to ChemE, I wouldn't mind process engineering, but I would want have an interesting process, not a big chemical company making a product that I don't support morally. Mege - Thanks for the response...

Hello all, I am a sophomore in college and I need to decide my college major now, as in the next two days. I have always been interested in Chemical Engineering, since I like chemistry and like to think about large-scale thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. I think it would be cool to work in...

Hello. I am a sophomore in college trying to decide between majors Mechanical Eng. and Chemical Eng. This decision has been a lengthy introspective battle since graduating high school. I have always enjoyed chemistry, notably chemical reactions especially in food and drinks and biology. I...

Hello. I am currently a mechanical engineering major. I am drawn to the mechanical engineering major because I like physics, all science really, and I believe this degree will teach me a lot about how devices/machines/physical objects work as well as how to build/manipulate the world around...

Hello. So I consider myself to be thoughtful and curious about my schoolwork, but to the point that it drives me mad. I get caught up over proving physics rules, checking the derivatives, understanding the "visuals" behind the integrals as best I can. I certainly don't aspire to be a student...

I don't want to work in a lab because I don't want to get stuck doing tedious work and calculations over and over again just to yield a result for someone else's experiments. I would rather work with my hands/on a project with a process to it. So I don't have to be the "hands-on" type to be a...

Hello, I am a first year uni student and am undecided about my major. Basically, I have an interest in all sciences, from biology to physics, and I want to find my real passion. I have an appreciation for math because I understand that it is the "ultimate science" and it explains and proves...

Questions about ChemE?? I have questions regarding Chemical Engineering, which I am considering as a major at UC San Diego. I am good at math but I did not particularly enjoyed my math classes in high school. Probably because I didn't study a lot. I think science is fascinating, and...
