viciouspoultry, are you happy as a ChemE? Do you feel that the work is generally exciting and progressive? I was planning on doing BioE until I found out that you couldn’t get much out of a BS degree in that and would likely need a PhD. I was then planning on pursuing ChemE until a family friend who owns a pharmaceutical company told me that ChemE’s also need PhDs. How true do you feel that statement is? Also, can you tell me a bit about the biotech and biofuel industries?
