I was thinking about changing from chemistry to chemical engineering. It’s just immensely more useful, and many of the same courses. And more interesting. Good idea/bad idea? Whyfor? ---

i was a CE major, but i got out of it. CE = 90% math 10%chem Basic rule of thumb i was told when i was still in the program was to get the math down, any chem i would actually need i could just pick up later. ---

Well, I have news for you… 90% of chemistry is math. 😉 For serious. ---

no shit. But what i mean is you spend most of your time with a pad of paper and not actually doing work in a lab. So it really depends what you are more into. Crunching numbers or playing with chemicals in a lab. ---

What would you do with a degree in chemistry? Hardcore research? ---

> [@BikerFry](#): > > What would you do with a degree in chemistry? Hardcore research? If I stopped at my bachelors it would be pointless. I could do the same work with my associates. Analytical. I can imagine I would get very bored. I’d like a job that gives me some creativity. I really do love me my chemistry, for whatever reason.
