[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Career prospects aren't good for chemical engineering degree either. The US has no industrial base.

The path would generally be medical school or Ph.D. 
Ph.D is not worth it unless its a top graduate program. 
Medical school is worth for any school in the US[/quote]

Oil industry 
Pharmaceutical 
Government  FDA and more

Chemical engineering is one of the highest paid engineering degrees.  It's a great job market.

I am a chemistry major and went on to get my PhD in chemistry. Job prospects are limited with just a chem BS.  You are expected to get a PhD (fully funded) if you want to work as a chemist.  Many chemistry majors also go to medical school, pharmacy school, and MBA, or law school, but a chem BS isn't limiting without grad school.

Your daughter should look for chemistry programs where she will be grouped with other chem majors and not all of the premeds.  She will get much more 1:1 interactions and get to know other students who actually enjoy chemistry, rather than being surrounded by box checkers who are constantly stressing about their grades.[/quote]
