Chemical engineering students and engineers?

Engineers: do u regret choosing chemical engineering?? do u like your job?
and students: what do u think of this major?? is it really that tough, even for students who like chemistry and math because that's what've heard... And finally.. does it involve a lot of chemistry or is mostly physics (which i like as well ) but chemistry has always been my favourite subject and i would like to know more and more about it..

i apologize for the long paragraph but please please feedback would be much appreciated!!

thanks in advance

Regret: No.

Like my job? Yes, I clean up after my former classmates (as an environmental engineer).

It is a tough major for most people. If math and chemistry are easy or fun for you, then ChemE won't be bad. Still there'll be some classes that don't thrill you but you have to take. That might be P-Chem (I mean, really, how many times does a practicing engineer need to determine the wave function of a subatomic particle in a one-dimensional box?!), multi-variable calculus, or reactor design.

But that's true of most any technical major. If you want really interesting topics that lead to late-night bull sessions with other undergrads, do some L&S major - history, Engilsh, poly sci, - it is great prep for an exciting mid-level career at a bank or insurance agency.

ChemE is not mostly physics. You have to take 1.5 years of Physics like most any science/engineering major but no more. Whereas you'll have 1 or 2 chemistry classes each and every semester.

It sounds like a good choice for you. It has opportunities in electronics, environmental, petroleum, bulk chemicals, and manufacturing. It offers more salary and more opportunities than Chemistry, especially with a BS.

I would point out that while your degree requirements will take care of your technical knowledge requirements, workplace skills are broader. I'd look to do what you can to improve your writing skills (school newpaper?), sales skill (part time job), managerial skill (stick with the part time job and supervise others), and how to hob-nob with decision makers. Those are the distinctions between strictly technical people who will be designing, whatever - distillation columns - their whole career, versus those who advance to managing, training and selling what other people in the trenches are grinding out.

As the joke goes, "Chemical engineers just want to be chemists who want to be physicists who want to be mathmaticians who want to philosophers who just want to be God. Unfortunately*, the pay scale is the reverse."

*Or fortunately for some.
