ChemE non oil/pharma jobs

<p>As a student considering chemical engineering, I hear a lot about the oil industry(specifically Houston) and big pharma. But as I have no interest in pharma, and I live in an area (mid-atlantic) without a healthy refining base what other options would I have as a chemical engineer? How needed are chemical engineers in other industrial areas like pulp/paper, food processing, cement plants, etc? Basically, I'm just wondering if I could suceed in this career without relocating. Any insight is welcome, tks</p>

<p>i’m going to follow this thread since i’m considering chemE as well.</p>

<p>Except i really want to work at a pharmaceutical company someday.</p>
