can PetE work as a ChemE?

<p>Hey I'm in the start of my degree right now and just curious if a PetE can work as a ChemE? they don't offer chemE at my school so I am taking PetE, but if later in life if move back home, there are processing plants there but no oil wells. so just curious!</p>

<p>Probably not. PetE is mostly about using engineering to find and extract petroleum, not engineering the actual substance.</p>
