<p>I am currently in high school and am starting to think about what to major in in college. I really like research and would prefer to get a job in this field, but i know careers in this sector are hard to find and somewhat unstable. From what i've heard, engineering (in forms of science) seems to be more stable. So basically my question is if i got a degree in something like chemical or biological engineering for security, would labs still be open to me as a researcher if something lucky pops up? or does engineering basically segregate you from research? </p>
<p>Engineering disciplines have their own fields of research. It just tends to be more applied. A big field of research is biomedical engineering is tissue engineering, and in materials science there are is a lot of work being done on materials design, making devices. Chemical engineers often work on problems such as drug delivery and sustainability.</p>
<p>does anyone know how stable these chemical and biochemical engineering jobs are? also, how easy is it to get a good job right out of college with decent pay?</p>
