Are there chemical engineering jobs in your country?

I am literally willing to live anywhere. Are there chemical engineering jobs in your country. Should I learn mandarin?
Should I try to get involved in finance instead?
looking back I realize that I should have done computer engineering instead

>Iranian dentist says she would have a job for me if I moved to Iran.
are you on a visa here?

anyway, try Houston

No, I am not. I have citizenship. I will try Houston.

Shit, what uni did you go to?

try in bismarck north dakota
my sister got offered a job as a chem engineer one year before she got degree

I would like to know this too.

Your post makes me the rightly unsettled I was thinking about going back to school for that.

lol nope

Move to iran bro

Most of the chem engies I've known ended up working for breweries as high functioning alcoholics

not in australia

I know four guys who are now teaching physics in high school with their engineering degrees since they couldn't find jobs

Columbia University

Phew! I live in California near LA so maybe I will have more luck...hopefully...I pray to Zeus. I am hoping to work for Loreal or any other big name cosmetic company.

For PEMEX. They make a shit-ton of money.

Those only higher chemE's with PhD's. Even then they are highly competitive.

I really, really think you should move to Iran
Yea thats a good idea

Damn I don't want to go to graduate school... Too expensive...

>Columbia University
wtf that's an ivy uni innit?

You don't need to pay any money to get your PhD. They pay you. The only problem is you get payed less than min wage and aren't allowed to work any other jobs. Getting your PhD + doing your post doc can take upwards of 8 years of your life during which time you are making the bare minimum you need to stay alive.
American Universities also have the worst safety standards. I chinese factory worker would be appalled at a lot of the shit that goes on. It is common for graduate students to work drunk and safety glasses are never worn by anyone. Everyone eats in the lab even when we are working with genetically modified bacteria and things. GMO stuff is harmless but still it is bad to release that shit into the environment. I had to work with lasers one summer and rather than be issued safety glasses I was just told to close my eyes when I passed through the laser plane.

So... You went to college, graduated, and had no idea what to do with your degree afterwards? Wtf is wrong with you?

You can always get a specialization in something that might be meaningful is some way. Have you tried materials engeneering? With a heavy chem background you'd find a lot of shit to do tbqh.

I went to college with the intent of getting a chemical engineering job. I read the wikipedia page for chemical engineering and it seemed interesting. The BLS said that job prospects were good for chemical engineers.
My mistake was doing academic internships instead of industry internships. I was also wrong in assuming that chemical engineering jobs actually exist.
I originally thought that I wanted to get a masters or PhD so that is why I decided to do academic internships. My GPA wasn't high enough to do that, though.

I guess I could try specializing. I don't like materials engineering, but I would do it if it payed well. I have been applying to sanitation plant jobs. Maybe I should continue down that path.

>chemical engineering
Cooking meth isn't legal, user.

There are chemical engineering jobs, but the bar test for foreigners was made specially made by the unions to reprove 100% of the applicants.

Capital letters and full stops, you fucking piece of shit.

talk to job counselors in your uni, they get paid to help you. try this company

I married a rich woman. We're landlords now. All my degrees were a waste of time. There is no meritocracy fyi.

Take a Phd lazy bum and you will get a nice job

Well, trying for scientific and "discovery" work is more complicated, you really can't find funding unless you are ---REALLY--- good. In that case it predertemines(?) that you have a love for the subject and very extensive amount of time to understand what it is about and that you study a lot.

This sort of people can't be found easily, which is why I'm going for 'scientific internships'(?) in computer science, but I won't be able to know if I will or not get a job in this since I might not be bright enough for it. Luckily I have stuff to fall back on if it goes wrong.

Have you ever thought about making/producing clean(no animal testing) products? I certainly know I'd buy them, since I don't buy things I know do this sort of thing.

Trophy hubby?

That is certain to always help, but not everyone can actually get it. Ir requires what I dumped in the 1st reply.

Pros:
There are TONS of engineering jobs here and you'll get your dick sucked for being american

Cons:
Argentina

Thanks, I will check this out.

Well, in case you are interested, in this site there is info about the requirements to work in the field (you need a professional matriculation). Sadly it seems to be in spanish only

There are tons of jobs nationwide both private and statal in engineerings, perhaps also some in american companies (P&G, etc) which can help with the language thing, but I'm guessing most are in Buenos Aires (companies) and Patagonia (oil and resources extraction in this one) is the most.

>>learn how to do shit with oil
>>go to russia, because all the shit here strives on oil, vodka and retardedness of government

>My GPA wasn't high enough to do that, though.
bull-fucking-shit

Maybe it's not high enough specifically for your Ivy League school, but 3.55 is easily enough for most engineering graduate programs. Heck, my uni is the top research/academic engineering school in Canada, and you only need 3.00/4.00 to be admitted to a master's degree (or even less than that if you're just doing courses rather than a thesis).

However, I would recommend not going for a PhD, seeing as that's a huge investment of time which is only worth it if you know for a fact that you'll be able to spend the rest of your life in academia. But a master's is nice middle ground.

Also, I'm sure you've already come to realize this yourself, but our society (or rather, every single society) is EXTREMELY nepotistic. As said, there is no such thing as meritocracy.
