<p>What percentage of ChemE jobs are related to the "traditional" reactor design, like the ones involving pipes and stuff of that sort? What percentage involve "cool" things like bioreactors or biomedical engineering?</p>
<p>answer him plz!</p>
<p>You can do just about anything with a degree in ChemE- just about everything in life involves chemicals of some sort (plastics, any chemicals you use for anything, etc). It all depends what you want to do and what to specialize in- if you want to do bioreactors or BME, then I would take classes in those areas and you can probably find jobs in the area.</p>
<p>I know I didn't really answer your question, but my point is that if you want to do something in chem e, study it and you can probably find a job in the area.</p>
<p>I know, but I'm not sure if I can find a decent-paying job doing fun stuff in biotechnology, which is what I would really like to do.</p>
<p>what's your definition of "decent paying"?</p>
<p>$50k+ starting CAD.</p>
