Chemical Eng or MechE/Aerospace double?

[Liondancer]

I'm still deciding between these two majors. I have some interests in chemistry but I don't want to stuck with mundane mixing chemicals in a lab all day. I like MAE because I prefer hands on work (but I might hate it when I'm older) and I like to build and fix things with my hands. I guess I need a detailed sort of degree and job description to help me make a choice.

THANKS!

You won't be mixing chemicals in a lab all day w/ a ChemE degree.

job description:
ChemE:

MechE:

P.S. ChemE programs have just a little bit more chemistry courses than most other engineering programs. My program only requires general chem 1&2 and Organic Chemistry. The other engineering programs require only general chem 1&2. ChemE is all about industrial scale production of 'chemicals'. Think refineries.

thanks for the links and advice it was really helpful! I'm still having trouble deciding though =/

Don't worry about it. No one really knows what they want to do with their lives. Most of us take a chance and run with a plan. Some of us never do much of anything. And one of us had sex with my mother -- that bastard!




















OR WAS HE!?
