Have I over-idealized Engineering?

The engineers that end up in management positions in firms etc. are ones who really don’t mind doing that. If you want to stay towards the “science” side of Chem.E, I’d say look for research opportunities and internships/co-ops to show employers that you really care about what kind of a career you’re headed towards. Having a stellar resume with tons of lab experience and research will only help you towards where you want to go.

As for the stereotypes related to majors, just ignore them. The undecided kids will keep making random comments on others’ majors because they haven’t made their decision yet. You know what you’re doing and you know where you’re going, that’s really all that matters.
