I put “terminal” in quotes because I was using it to mean a degree with which you don’t have to have any higher qualifications to do the job. You can certainly get a PhD in ChemE but you don’t need one to do the normal jobs a chemical engineer does. Those who pursue PhD’s generally either perform engineering research or teach (or, as is most likely, a combination of both). Sorry for any misunderstanding!
