<p>Ha! Well, as I’ve discussed in other threads, many of the top engineering students - whether ChemE or otherwise - won’t even work as engineers at all, but instead will take jobs in consulting or finance, or will head to law/business/medical school. </p>

<p>For example, Ankur Luthra, arguably the most distinguished Berkeley engineering undergrad in the last decade. After completing an MS at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, he earned his MBA at Harvard and then became a venture capitalist. He’s never actually worked as an engineer. </p>

<p>A fast elevator to the corporate corner office, an engineering career unfortunately does not provide, even to the top students. But that’s hardly specific only to ChemE.</p>
