Job Opputunities in Chemical Engineering between different schools

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>So lets say that there are two CHemE graduates; one from Ohio State and another from MIT. </p>

<p>Will job oppurtunities be much different? Would the MIT student get the Pfizer job while the Ohio State graduate gets the no name company job?</p>

<p>Firstly, the MIT graduate is probably going to go on to graduate school…a very high pecentage of their students do.</p>

<p>Secondly, the Ohio State student can certainly get the job from Pfizer, especially if he/she had an internship/co-op there.</p>

<p>Unlike what most people think, MIT does not always work miracles.</p>

<p>Also, if the company was near Ohio State, my money would bet that the Ohio State grad would get the job.</p>

<p>MIT grads in ChemE will most likely go a) to grad school, b) into the finance sector, or c) large Fortune 500 company like Pfizer</p>

<p>OSU grads in ChemE will most likely go a) to grad school, b) to P&G or Eli Lily, or c) large Fortune 500 company like Pfizer or those metioned in b</p>

<p>The market for ChemEs is good no matter where you came from. Many of the engineers coming out of colleges like MIT with a BS do not want a BS engineering job.</p>
