You should follow Plato's advice and study mathematics and natural science-related subjects, instead of studying anything even remotely related with sophistry or deceitful rhetoric.

Pure. I'm not saying that engineers are retards, but pure mathematics is much more intellectual and conceptual and overlaps with philosophy.

From a metaphysical standpoint, I can see how Mathematics shares some similarities with Philosophy, but from an ethical standpoint I feel like studying pure Mathematics would come closer to violating the categorical imperative.

Chemical engineering seems like an honest pursuit to me, and Chemistry is one of the basic natural sciences, a step in the ladder right below Physics. If /lit/ really does value works of fiction and philosophy like we say we do, I find no reason to believe that, if we admire the work of writers, fictional characters, stories, settings, ideas, concepts, we'd have little to no problem admiring the work of people who pursue truth and knowledge of the world by the means of the scientific method, it being only an extension of human activity, and taking into consideration Fichte's claim that there is no true boundary between pure and practical reason, since every thought is an action and every action springs from thought, then we should be able to understand that somebody would be able to find true joy not only in amassing knowledge about chemical structures, but also in seeing its different possible applications in manufacturing, construction, and even medicine, if we take biochemistry in too.
