ShutterBug SG

Well, in this you'll likely learn how to make weapons for Biological Warfare, and Chemical Warfare.

Knowledge is good....

Orions Belt SG

As long as you've got the interest.

Passion will bring you a long way.

i scared later no jobs for chemical engineers… now those finance and bank jobs very high demand

digicharat SG

osama and his kakis will always welcome you with open hands.

nonameguy SG

i scared later no jobs for chemical engineers... now those finance and bank jobs very high demand

So now finance and bank jobs very high demand........ later their demand not that high what are you going to do?

Don't choose your course based on demand....... demand never lasts. Choose based on interest and ability.

Anyway, if you are thinking about taking a business course instead of an engineering course, I would recommend the engineering course as a professional degree is more valuable than a general degree.

DrTech SG

Sounds good though... I do have intentions into going towards that path...

Follow your heart... (and the money)

meleagent SG

Hmm my fren is in that course now and seems to be very tough. Then again it if u have a genuine interest for that field of study then go for it

hisoka SG

depends on what you wanna do and what you like btw chemical engin is not very chemical do not be mislead b the name like some pple

JLennon SG

doesn't matter if you do chemical engineering as long as you graduate with top honours. had a friend who studied chemical engineering and ended up working in a top consultancy firm instead. if you can demonstrate a strong academic aptitude, top finance firms should have no qualms about hiring you cos they trust that you can pick up the finance skills easily.

good thing about chem engin is that you are in a specialised industry and can fall back on that if your career options in the finance industry do not materialise.

DriftingGuy SG

I tend to disagree with the "top honours" part. Top honours will really matter if you are considering a job within the government sector. In the public sector, they look beyond mere academic skills.

I have a friend with 3rd class getting a job over another guy with 2nd upper just because he performed better in an interview.

As for chemical engineering.. its very engineering based with chemistry as a side focus. some chemical engineers work for petroleum companies but there are those in in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry as well.

As for they do.. try to imagine Jurong Island with its gigantic plants and large chimneys. Of course, there are other things you can do besides chemical engineering Wink
