anything in the pharmaceutical industry would pay very well.. \nOther big chemical companies include Dow, 3M, DuPont, BASF.. who make pretty much everything from herbicides to hydrocarbons\n\nIf I were you I would go into the energy career since it is getting so much attention

I am a chemical engineer involved with ceramics for 25 years. Maybe I could but I do not know what you want.

Usually, not much unless you go on to get a MS or some other advanced degree.  Your better bet would be a chemical engineering degree and then going on to work in the petroleum industry or some other kind of chemical manufacturing process.

Yes! Electrical engineering, especially with a concentration on electric propulsion is our future. Internal combustion engines are on the way out and electric motor controls, fuel cells and hybrids are on the way in. You have no idea how tough it is to find engineers with experience in these areas and they are commanding large salaries when you do find them.

Industrial Engineering is closely related to mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.  Actually all engineers must study at least the fundamentals of all engineering fields in order to cooperate with other specialized engineers.  The Industrial Engineer specializes in setting up and efficiently running industrial plants that may include electrical, mechanical and chemical components and other.  One specialty of the Industrial Engineer is to study time management which includes the organization and flow of materials and products through the plant and the efficiency of workers who may need more or better tools to avoid rejects.

Depending on the part of photography involved, you could be an optical engineer, dealing with the lenses, a mechanical engineer dealing with the camera shutter, (film) transport, and so on, an electronic engineer dealing with the electronics used in modern cameras for light measuring, focusing, and much more.  Semiconductor physics is involved deeply in digital cameras.  Chemical engineering is involved with film design, manufacture, and processing (development of pictures).\n\nI hope this sheds a bit of light on your question.

Chemical engineering is the application of science, in particular chemistry, physics and mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms.\n\nChemical Engineering largely involves the design and maintenance of chemical processes for large-scale manufacture. Chemical engineers in this branch are usually employed under the title of process engineer. Following is an example that illustrates the process engineering part of chemical engineering:\n\n    The difference between chemical engineering and chemistry can be illustrated by considering the example of producing orange juice. A chemist working in the laboratory investigates and discovers a multitude of pathways to extract the juice of an orange. The simplest mechanism found is to cut the orange in half and squeeze the orange using a manual juicer. A more complicated approach found is to peel and then crush the orange and collect the juice. A company then commissions a chemical engineer to design a plant to manufacture several thousand tons of orange juice per year. The chemical engineer investigates all the available methods for making orange juice and evaluates them according to their economical viability. Even though the manual juicing method is simple, it is not economical to employ thousands of people to manually juice oranges. Thus another, cheaper method is used (possibly the 'peel and crush' technique). The easiest method of manufacture on a laboratory bench will not necessarily be the most economical method for a manufacturing plant.\n\nChemical engineers are aiming for the most economical process. This means that the entire production chain must be planned and controlled for costs. A chemical engineer can both simplify and complify "showcase" reactions for an economic advantage. Using a higher pressure or temperature makes several reactions easier; ammonia, for example, is simply produced from its component elements in a high-pressure reactor. On the other hand, reactions with a low yield can be recycled continuously, which would be complex, arduous work if done by hand in the laboratory. It is not unusual to build 6-, or even 12-step evaporators to reuse the vaporization energy for an economic advantage. In contrast, a laboratory chemists evaporate samples in a single step, wasting the energy.\n\nThe individual processes used by chemical engineers (eg. distillation or filtration) are called unit operations and consist of chemical reaction, mass-, heat- and momentum- transfer operations. Unit operations are grouped together in various configurations for the purpose of chemical synthesis and/or chemical separation. Some processes are a combination of intertwined transport and separation unit operations, (e.g. reactive distillation).\n\nThree primary physical laws underlying chemical engineering design are Conservation of mass, Conservation of momentum and Conservation of energy. The movement of mass and energy around a chemical process are evaluated using Mass balances and energy balances which apply these laws to whole plants, unit operations or discrete parts of equipment. In doing so, Chemical Engineers use principles of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and transport phenomena. The task of performing these balances is now aided by process simulators, which are complex software models (such as Pro II and Hysys) that can solve mass and energy balances and usually have built-in modules to simulate a variety of common unit operations.\n\nThe modern discipline of chemical engineering encompasses much more than just process engineering. Chemical engineers are now engaged in the development and production of a diverse range of products, as well as in commodity and specialty chemicals. These products include high performance materials needed for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic, environmental and military applications. Examples include ultra-strong fibers, fabrics, adhesives and composite

It depends on what other fields you are interested in: research, teaching, consulting, etc... That question is too broad. What are your interests?

Engineering which puts ideas in place or use, a problem solver, can be almost any field. Electrical, Chemical, Industrial, Mechanical.\n\nEngineering Research is the field you are wanting. Exploring new developments based on principles of engineering. \n\nEngineering research provides the basis for application engineering to use. For example in the Medical Imaging field, the research in performed in a lab. The results of this work is then turned over to an engineering group to make into a product. One which can be used.

I received a BSChE in 1989.  For a recent grad, going through the university is the best bet - many large companies hold on-campus interviews.  Also, professors are a good source for networking with the industry.  It also helps to have had co-operative or intern experience with a company to get your foot in the door.\n\nIt is important to develop a broad network of professionals that you know and can contact for job information within your particular industry.  Ideally, if you can start this at a young age you'll be way ahead of everyone else.\n\nAs far as the internet, most job postings on there are for people with at least some work experience.  The best sites for chemical engineers are:\n\nCareerbuilder.com\nMonster.com\nIndeed.com

This is a real dilemma for young childerns since they don't know what should they choose. They don't have any idea about the working conditions & life style of their prospective professions. \n\nMy suggestions is that if you have time than spent some time with some doctor and find out whether you like his way of working and lifestyle. \n\nAlternatively you can spent some time with some chemical engineer in order to reach at educated conclusion.

Without a doubt, Chemical engineering is the most interesting and the most important! It is vital for the oil industry. It is vital for the food you eat, the products you use. Without chemical engineering, the world would be  worse place.

Our Engineering Director prefer to hire those who study Mechanical Engineering if we are hiring for a Design Engineer at our Sales/Marketing/Engineering Office. Chemical Engineers are sought after for those Engineers we hire to work in the plant.  Check out an Engineering Society's website (i.e. SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers) and perhaps it will help assist you with making your decision.
