[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ChemE vs Chem is pretty close. ChemE requires, ochem, pchem, biochem.  Then take polymer engineering, computational chemistry.  Lots of electives you can take in chemistry or related subjects. Even plasma and nuclear engineering. Material science and even EE take solid state chemistry classes.[/quote]
ChemE is nothing like Chemistry. Why are you misinforming op?[/quote]

You're right. ChemE has broad career options in many different engineering fields.. Chem majors with just undergrad degrees end up working in labs. [/quote]
DP, but why is that a bad thing? My DC is only a rising jr in HS but is considering chemistry too. DC loves lab work. [/quote]

It’s not,  if that’s what they want to do.  But the risk is that 5-10 years in they may regret the limitations on career.  No guarantee that will be the case,  but they need to have eyes wide open at the choice.  Friends getting promoted, having opportunities unavailable to them,  etc can kinda stink later on. That said I have a friend who had made a career of this type of work and done very well for herself.  She liked not having the extra responsibility of management, dealing with office politics, taking work home, etc.  She could in, put in her hours, clock out and go home.[/quote]
