<p>This hurts my logic gland. OUCH!</p>

<p>So does that!</p>
<p>What did you smoke before this post? It is pure nuts! There are tons, and tons, and tons… and tons of research opportunities in mechanical engineering. The amount of research going on in a field has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the discipline. It has to do with how relevant it is to modern technologies. Guess what, chemical engineering is no more relevant than mechanical engineering. Chemical engineering also has no more research opportunities than does mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>As for jobs, the chemistry component of chemical engineering will open up more jobs for you that require detailed knowledge of chemistry. In a general sense, however, it will not open more jobs for you overall. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields if not the broadest. Suggesting otherwise is silly. I get it, you like your major, and there is nothing wrong with that. Please don’t allow your love to cause you disseminate false information though.</p>
