I think it is, Chemical engineers work in a variety of fields and a lot of us will be retiring in the next 10 to 15 yearsThey have a good starting salary and lower than normal unemploymentMechanical engineering is also a good choice.
Every petrochemical refinery has chemical engineersEvery chemical-related large-volume manufacturer has chemical engineersThe coastline of the Gulf of Mexico has many of these plants, from Corpus Christi, Texas through LouisianaI don't know about Alabama, Mississippi, or FloridaI know New Jersey has a lot of these plantsVehicle tires are made from petrochemicalsMost plastics are made from petrochemicalsHowever, the equipment the chemical engineers use is designed by mechanical engineers and is controlled by equipment specified by electrical engineersIt's a team effort.
I work for a major tire company as a chemical engineerI decide what materials go into certain rubber compoundsI monitor the physical properties of those compounds as they are tested over time using statisticsIf a compound is too hard or soft, or not getting enough traction or fuel economy it is my job to figure out why and make necessary formula changesHowever some of my other ChemE coworkers are in research and study the properties of different polymersSome work the plants that actually make synthetic polymersSome of my friends are in sales and marketingI tell you this in all honesty that chemical engineering is very broad in what you can doYou will never have trouble finding a jobYou can do the work of a chemist but a chemist can’t do your workMore and more companies are putting engineers in the role of sales due to their technical knowledgeAs far as demand, chemical engineers are the highest paid engineer on averagePetroleum engineers make more but most petroleum engineers start out as chemical engineers and get graduate degrees in petroleum engineeringAs an engineering student you will have up to one year of co-op assignments at a company before you graduateI made $55,000 a year as a studentWhen I graduated I got hired in at $67,500 a year and after 4 years I’ve had two pay increases and am up to a tad above $80,000 a yearAll of my classmates had jobs months before they even graduatedI work 40 hours a week.
Seems to me that chemical engineers are usually more in demand than electrical, civil, or mechanical engineersAnd this s mostly because many fewer people are interested in chemical engineeringSeems to me it's not as sexy as some of the other onesSo if that's where your interest lies, I'd definitely go for itAlso, you'll tend to do much better at something you're interested inEven if there is too much supply and not enough demand, someone who's passionate about what they do will be a much better employment prospet.
