Chem E Turmoil

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hello, I am a junior in a ChemE program right now and it is alot more physics than I had imagined. I have some affinity for physics and my calc is strong, I am handling the coursework but I enjoy my chemistry classes much more than my Chem E classes. If I were to switch to chemistry I would be trying to get a PhD immediately because I am well aware that its kind of a joke and that you need the extra 4 years to actually learn *** your talking about when it comes to sciences like these.
The chem E degree is an extra semester and summer compared to the BS in pure chem. I like the lab, I like biochemistry, I like plants, I dont know if engineering is for me. I dont HATE engineering i just enjoy chem more. I have always wanted to be an alchemist my entire life. If I do stick with engineering I am still looking to get a PhD in chemistry because I want to master it, I would just spend a few years in industry first. Med school may also be an option except I have a 3.0 and I'll have to work harder or something... its already pretty brutal.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading my first post</p>

<p>If you look at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys.html&lt;/a&gt; , you will find that getting a good job in chemistry is much more difficult than getting a good job in chemical engineering.</p>

<p>Looks like you have a tough choice between studying what you really like now, with the likelihood of not being able to do it for a decent career, or studying something that you are just ok with that is much more likely to be something you can do for a career.</p>
