>hardly any difference
EE has 21,000 new jobs being added in a ten year period. That is 2,100 jobs a year. Then when you take into account that the field stagnated for a couple years (used to have negative growth) there's a queue built up which will still make finding working nearly impossible for most.

8% job growth for ChemE means 2,500 jobs in ten years. Don't act like that's impressive, that's suicide tier.

9% for MechEng means 25,300 new jobs. Not that great but when you consider MechEng's can weasel themselves in other industries its far better then other two. so there is a huge difference.

[Anonymous No.9559859]

>>9559810
In hindsight I think its better to move math to mid tier. The educational value you get might be pretty decent but its not really applicable and most math majors end up as teachers. That's not really prestigious. At the PhD level I'd say its probably God tier but at undergrad level its just mid tier. Not really worth majoring unless you want to be a teacher or go to grad school.

If you don't believe me you're more then welcome to make a thread asking people if they've been able to find employment on their field. ChemE and EEs struggle to find work. Mainly ChemE's. The problem is the other kind of work ChemEs can do is also pretty scarce. EE is not as bad but from the EE's I know they haven't been too lucky in finding work. Some settled for technician jobs.

Hell I was a ChemE major until I asked around and found how hard it was to find work. Good thing I switched.

I did ChemE and work as a process metallurgist at a copper mine. I was earning near double of what engineering grads I knew in other fields were making when I graduated. I was a fairly average student, finding a job isn't hard even if you aren't the top student. Day to day project shit I do on site is really interesting as well. I'd much rather that than sitting in an office.

God that sounds depressing. Good luck on the job. A lot of EE's I know struggle to find work so don't think there's something wrong with you, remain confident.

>>9560283
You have no clue how much I would love to do that. Where do you live? I live in California and there are barely any jobs for ChemE here. It's nearly impossible to find work around here but maybe its better where you live. I heard so many horror stories from recent grads who couldn't find work that i backed out because I didn't want to risk being unemployed after I graduate. It sucks, but I don't regret it. My main concern was a job and I don't think I would've been able to handle not getting a job after graduating.

is this just undergrad majors? i majored in physics and chemistry so those are both 'god tier' but i'm in medical school so what is that? 'top tier'?

also, if i could do it all over again, i'd major in neuro and comp sci. that's because all research is in that direction.

for instance, i had to learn programming for my research in physics. and i later started research in neuro which also required me to learn programming. nothing too intense, just python to use things like astropy/kplr/batman and nipy.
