Barbara Said:

I cant decide on my career? How important is career satisfaction? Physiotherapy or Chemical engineering?

We Answered:

Your chemical engineering degree will provide you with a qualification that is highly valued by a whole host of industry sectors and by other employers. It is certainly a qualification that will open up many doors for you. You are right that salaries of chemical engineers are excellent and that you will have good career prospects. Right now there is a real shortage of chemical engineers worldwide.

Chemical engineers work in a whole host of roles from design, to R&D, to operations. As well as ‘conventional’ chemicals sectors they are to be found in sectors as diverse as biotech, pharm, consumer goods, food, water, biomedical, nuclear, environmental consultancy, education etc etc.

The pharma sector is a significant employer of chemical engineers. These companies need to know how to scale up the chemistry to produce APIs and also the secondary processes. They need people to design and operate very sophisticated plant to GMP standards. And, of course, engineers operate in many areas of the supply chain in these companies helping minimise operating costs and to take decisions around business investments.

Good luck with your research and decision making. And contact us if you need further help.
