<p>How food is the school in that area nationally?
I was considering applying for ED.
Help!</p>

<p>I know it's a great school but I'm not sure if it's only good for art, architecture of just everything</p>

LOL… I know it’s just a typo :slight_smile: love that.</p>

<p>Ken went to CU, he probably can give a lot of insights about the ChemE there </p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>The food is good. You can eat anything in Manhattan.</p>

<p>As for ChemE, I’ll just relay the history of a good friend of mine. Graduated ChemE from Cooper back in the 80s. After almost a year without finding a job, he was offered a job as an actuary. Had no idea what that was, but needed the job. 20+ years later, he has no regrets with the career move. Also no regrets about his free education at Cooper, just was disappointed at the lack of opportunities for ChemE graduates in NY area at the time.</p>

<p>According to BLS, job prospects for chemical engineers are projected to DECLINE by 2% over the next 10 years. The chemical industry employes 250,000 LESS people today than it did in 1990. People should really do their research before jumping into a major with lousy career prospects like Chem engineering.</p>

<p>In my graduating year, I knew of chemical engineering majors who went on to work for companies such as BASF, DuPont, Novartis, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson and Merck. Some went to grad schools such as Wisconsin, Princeton, Caltech and Columbia. There were also quite a few that went to med school.</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter what decade or what school you went to; there simply are not that many chemical engineering positions in the NYC area.</p>

<p>Honestly, I want to become an expert and come up with products that can greatly contribute to the world’s economy.
I don’t study or live for the money.</p>

<p>Well, good luck with that, but that takes a lot of time and money to do. Not to mention that many inventors have been ripped off when someone steals their designs. Did you know that the creator of the AK47 never saw a dime from it? Ture story.</p>

<p>LOL + rep Chardo</p>

<p>You’re not getting my point. It would be good if i do get some credit for it. But as long as my work can contribute to the world, i would be satisfied.</p>

<p>dhs, don’t worry about Homer’s opinion, although he has some good points.
but it’s all right. we get your point. If you enjoy doing what you do, then go ahead.
You can be the next Perelman.</p>
