I am a che major. I will say that everyone I speak to, peers, recent graduates, current/“grown adults” engineers say that chemical engineering is the hardest of all engineering while simultaneously being the way to go. My sister’s bf (Civil) had a great job waiting for him a semester before he graduated. He encouraged me to stick with CHE and said if he could do it over he would do CHE. I only have to take 2 physics (wonderful b/c I damn near failed the first one, lol). I was interested in the biomedical field. I even interned with Brookwood Pharmaceuticals, which is in the biomedical field (Google them!). Chemical engineering will definitely suit you better than EE if you wish to pursue anything medical related. Furthermore, CHE can lead to many other careers. Some of my friends are going to med school and others law school.

Of course, my opinion could be biased…
