It certainly isn’t an easy major…I’ve heard that the ideal major for a premed bent on engineering is biomedical engineering (which is my major) but it is not generally advised because of the difficulty in getting the GPA needed to be competitive for medical schools (major doesn’t really factor in when evaluating GPA). The job market for chemical engineering is also cyclical meaning that the amount of employment varies with the market, needs, etc. Chem E also requires substantial math and science courses and you should probably be at least above average to pursue and do well in Chem E.
