In U.S.A, which field has more job opportunity, chemical or mechanical engineering? Your opinion will be deeply helpful for me.
if you are a non-citizen, you need to look at your home country for job opportunities. A US education gets a diploma.
If you aren’t a citizen, you will have difficulty being sponsored by any company. US Immigration rules are strict. A US employer/company has to indicate to the government that there are no US candidates available for any open job positions before offering a position to a non-citizen. So, looking for job opportunities is based on what your home country will employ.
@A2Graduate the bigger question is how you plan to pay to study at Berkeley. The UCs give NO (read that…zero) need based aid to out of state students. You will need to fully fund your studies there IF you accepted, in all likelihood.
On other threads you are asking about funding for college. Cal is well over $50.000 a year for OOS students. How will you pay that bill?
I do get the impression that the most viable career with a chemical engineering is entering the oil/refinery industry.
It really depends what kind of industry interests you. Directly entering a big company will be nearly impossible due to visa issues, but entering through agency is always a possibility.
I believe oil/gas is in a cyclical downturn right now, but there are plenty of other industries ChemEs go into. Manufacturing (food, other products, speciality chemicals), pharma, energy, biotechnology…
