pure science vs engineering

How different are the career opportunities for those with a chem degree vs ChemE or cs vs CompE or physics vs well you get the point? I'm majoring in econ which means i'll have a math minor by the time im done with the requirements. So im thinking about adding another major where i can use those math courses (a major that interests me obviously). The options im considering are cs, continuing math, chem, phys etc since there are no engineering majors at my school. Transferring is not out of the question but unlikely because i like the school i go to now.

Also how about grad school is it imperative to get a grad degree (in engineering) for advancement purposes.

Undergrad science degrees do monetize as well as engineering degrees. I'd say that the gap closes in the graduate ranks (especially with Physics).

Chemists make less than Domino's drivers on fridays.

Saturdays are never as busy as the preceding Friday. Sunday is busier than Saturday half the time, especially with football and nascar.....
