Chemical Engineering Major, Job after college?

<p>Hey Guys I am currently a rising junior double majoring in chemical engineering and political science, my current GPA is 3.6. I have no idea what I should do after I graduate college. However I have been looking at some options, so please help me decide.</p>

<p>1) Try to find a good paying job after I get my B.S, I really want to move to DC or Houston, I currently live in Richmond. I go to (VCU) Virginia commonwealth University</p>

<p>2) Get my Masters in Chemical engineering</p>

<p>3) Go to law school and become a Patent Lawyer/agent</p>

<p>I really don't have that many choices lol.</p>

<p>I have a few more questions, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>What are the best cities for Chemical engineer (career growth wise and pay)</p>

<p>I won't mind traveling!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I won't mind relocating, I just need a change of scenery Richmond is so boring. I honestly won't mind working in a Desert in Saudi Arabia!</p>

<p>What are some of the best chemical engineering companies in the US? (I know of DuPont and DOW and Exxon etc but are there any other big ones)</p>

<p>Also I am kinda interested in petroleum Engineering and Texas A&M has a great grad program, what can I do with that?</p>

<p>I have a deep passion for engineering, yet I obviously want a great paying job once I am done with school, with that being said what is the average salary for entry level Engineers, say in Houston and DC?</p>

<p>I absolutely love politics, hence why I am also majoring in political science; So it would be great if I could combine the two and turn it into a successful career! </p>

<p>It would be awesome if I get some great answers, THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>bump bump bump plz…</p>

<p>I can’t give you a ton of advice, but I would note that you don’t need a law degree to be a patent lawyer. In fact, I’ve heard that most patent lawyers have advanced degrees (MS/PhD) rather than law degrees.</p>
