The Best Industries for Chemical Engineers

In this video, I talk about the various industries you can work in as a chemical engineer.

Disclaimers:
1) Do your own research. I am by no means an expert. I have only worked in 3 different industries – the most reliable source is from someone who has actually worked in that industry.
2) There is no "best industry" – job openings are dependent on where you live, the economy, where you live, and what you are interested in.
3) Many job postings can be filled by various engineering disciplines. E.g. I was interviewed for a Controls and Automation role that was usually for Electrical Engineers but due to my experiences, I was seen as a good fit.

I’m a second year chemical engineer student at western university and I love your channel. Great video!

Chemical Engineers are very versatile. They can do anything. They are great Problem Solvers, have a mind for processes and are usually avid learners. A Chemical Engineering degree is great grounding for many opportunities. I’m a Chemical Engineer by qualification- my passion now is teaching Public Speaking skills.

I really love this video.
Actually, I was spending time thinking about What area I should start. So now I'll consider starting in whatever I want in fact it helps me a lot to familiarize myself with the chemical industry.
It's my last year in university and start to work on energy projects as a researcher.
Thank you so much from Peru, Shawm.

Your videos are really insightful, I’m hoping to study chemical engineering next year. I’m mainly interested in petrochemicals and their potential replacements, though I would like to work in any other chemical manufacturing industry.
