      I did chemical engineering as my major in undergrad. A good chunk of my classmates are basically just project management, but others ended up shipped off to Siberia so it’s a toss up

      Look for things with high pressure piping and/or megawatt utility power lines and you’ll probably find a chemical engineer touched it at some point, especially if they can be broken down into unit process skids like “compressor”, “pump”, “heat exchanger”, “phase separator”, “separation column”, or, especially, “reactor”. The concept of “unit process”, especially in the application of scaling up benchtop chemistry procedures, is uniquely a chemical engineering concept.

      Power plants. Water treatment. Pulp and paper mills. Oil and gas (up/mid/downstream). Semiconductor lithography. Battery production. Ore processing. Biofuel production.

        I’ve been a chemical engineer for 13 years, it was a joke about it being safe. One of my first jobs was with hydrofluoric acid 😂

          I’ve heard stories of grad students flat out refusing to work with HF. (Never relevant for me, other than being something very scary.)

            Now imagine a contract manufacturing plant that hires line workers through temp agencies and you can understand why I am yearning for a safe chemE job

            (I walked out of that place btw)

          You want the job designing plants, not the job where you die when the plant you designed blows up.

            No I don’t

            I want safely designed plants and people who work at them to know how to work safe

        Also, the food industry. “Modified food starch”.

        Also, consumer goods. “Methylchloroisothiazolinone”.
