Is chemical engineering just another shitty degree? Everything i heard was either bullshit or somebody saying how hard it is to find a job. Any chem e. Majors here want to exclaim how it went for them?

not a chem eng

no its not bullshit. probably harder to find a job than mech eng or aero eng or something like that but easier than pure sciences.

job outlook is just bad for everyone right now for a variety of reasons. so if your chem eng friends are struggling, thats just how it is unfortunately. chem eng is generally considered a t10 degree

ChemE is pretty good as far as engineering degrees go, you learn a lot but don't get much depth unless you push yourself. What else are you leaning towards?

ChemE here, yes, the job aspect is a meme, everyone always said they are always in demand, yet a year after we graduated over 10% of my classmates still couldn't get a single job, and I'm not talking about some retard, some of them were pretty smart guys. One guy even had to get a job stocking shelves at a supermarket because he could get no other job. Half of the rest had extremely shitty low paying jobs and I (who had a higher paying job than most) still made less than some of my highschool friends who either did other shit or went into a trade. If you like ChemE, do it, bit don't fall for this job meme. This is actually another problem, because ChemE ended up nothing like how I was told it was in highschool, they told me it was very advanced math, problem solving, chemistry, and a bunch of other shit that sounded cool, turns out the most advanced math you do it numerically solve pdes and the only chemistry is balancing equations. All my time is spent doing useless repetitive paperwork, yelling at maintenance and operators for not doing their jobs, and following undocumented pipes with a tiny bit of code monkey work and some thermo/fluid dynamics once a month. You also get the added stress that when the operators or anyone else fucks up its your fault because you are the engineer in charge.

My classmates all have similar stories, the only ones that seem happy are ones who got jobs in completely different fields, like working at banks or insurance companies.

STEM lied, autists died.

There never were any jobs.

H1B Mexican boomer jews took your STEM jobs.
Jose Schlomo Hernandez is laughing at you nerds.

The punchline is that there aren't any.

>over 10%
That's, uhhhh pretty normal.
