Chemical engineering vs Chemistry

Chemistry is paid less because all the chem departments across the country think its cool to incorporate lots of “bio” crap that no one actually uses into the curriculum, going as far as to make it MANDATORY to know biochemistry.

Traditional Chem fields that are HIGHLY USEFUL and EMPLOYABLE such as polymer chemistry, polymer physics, electrochemistry, metallurgical chemistry, materials properties and separations are NOT part of the curriculum anymore; they’ve been either cancelled, moved to graduate classes, or moved to ChemE. They’ve instead replaced these highly useful and employable classes with things like theoretical inorganic chemistry and biochemistry, which no one will ever use, employers don’t care about, and are a pain to learn for no reason.

This is despite my school requiring, as part of ACS certification, the exact same math and physics classes as the ChemEs.

I suspect this is due to the need of many slaves to drive the biotech industrial revolution.

All Industrial Revolutions are built on the backs of millions of slaves. Britain exploited 700 million people in its colonies and 50 million at home to build its empire. The regime in Washington has decided that biotech is the future, and to do this, it needs many low wage slaves.
