This Is How Much Engineers Make at Airbnb, Uber and Snapchat

That's dependent upon level of interest. I'm a senior ChemE major and I would disagree. I feel I should have chosen EE, CS, or CE, but that's me.

Word . That's what I'm in school for now

Why do you think you made a bad choice being a ChemE major?

If you are getting into technology, it better involve software development, cloud or security. Typical IT stuff is going to get hit by automation(thanks to SAAS/arm making shyt more low maintenance)and call center stuff is getting outsourced to India.

Developer jobs are the easiest to outsource. Typically low level work is outsourced (ie. the type of work you guys who are trying to get in now would be doing). Cloud and Managed Services is technically outsourcing services also.

In the future you will have a few Managed Service Providers/Vendors that provide services to companies and the Companies will have a few Architects on site. The Architects simply develop the strategy and asses risk and then the actual work can be outsourced/automated.

I meant freelance stuff(that's what I'm doing, web design to be specific) and yeah, Mexico is eating up them developer jobs from what I have heard. Programming is just a skill that imo, will never not be in demand.

Programming will always be in demand, but Programming jobs can easily be outsourced. The people who create the logic and functional designs will always be the ones eating.

Why you think America is pushing this Code crap to everyone. So they can pay Americans chump change and look good on paper because they "brought jobs back to America".

If you want to be a developer go for it, but anyone doing something just cause they hear it pays will be taken out the paint rather easy

nah, I actually don't want to work for others and I'm just a nerd in general. Could be wayy over my head but fukk it, the dream is to get off on independent video games. The web design stuff is there because the skills overlap.

It's not quite what I thought it would be. It's hard to explain, but most of the content isn't the most interesting stuff in the world. Out of all my ChemE courses, if I had to, the only one I'd voluntarily retake is Transport Phenomena (Fluid Dynamics). The rest are plain boring. I've also heard the same from a few of my peers. That is, if we could re-do the process, knowing what we know about ChemE, we would have chosen something else. It's a good major, just a bit boring content wise, at least for me and the few people with whom I've worked.

Yeah to me it depends on what type of Chemical Engineering you study. Cause alot of people don't realize how broad it can be

What type did you study. Biomedical? Chemical Processes? Polymer? Fuel Cell and Semiconductor? Paper and Pulp?

To me the reason I love the major is that I generally love Chemistry and I know EXACTLY what I want to do after I graduate, and that's the Chemical Processes sector, either in Petroleum or Food processing. All the other concentrations seem boring as fukk to me


And to be honest, if you have no particular concentration you're studying in, and just doing the general chemical Engineering, then I get why people would think ChemE is boring, cause that's the most monotonous shyt ever

What year are you? There are fundamental Math, Science, and ChemE courses, after which you can select specializations courses. I'm more on the energy and process engineering side of things. I may take a polymer course or two as I've taken one materials science/engineering course already. Also, you should know that there isn't as much pure chemistry as you think, outside of basic chemistry that is.

I'm a sophomore. Taken some process courses, and will be done with all my math and science courses by the end of next summer

I'm in the same concentration as you.. You in the energy and process side and find it boring? I love that. shyt, my dream is to be in the oilfields or work at a food plant

 

[How Sway?]

Hate to burst yalls bubble and what not.....
but if you're simply intrigued by the money and not the actual skill of programming, you will be in for a RUDE awakening

Traditional ChemE i.e. oil is more or less dead. The next waves: renewable energy, waste water treatment, process/controls engineering/optimization, everything bio-related, nanotechnology. There are of course more possibilities; those are just a few. You can definitely be inside of a food plant though.

process side and find it boring?

Course content (real world experience may be different) and it may just be me. Here is a simple, control related example.

I think people are overstating the possibility of jobs being outsourced. Initially, that was the first thing I thought about when I first started learning to program, so I researched the subject extensively and apparently, people are split on the issue. Yes, overseas developers are cheap and for companies trying to save a buck, that's where they're going to go. But there are also companies that think a large percentage of coders in India or China are shyt (not my words, words of other developers), write bad code, code that often has to be rewritten anyway, projects that take longer than what was agreed upon, overseas contractors who are more difficult to quickly get in touch with than someone on-site in the same city and country as you. Then there's the language barrier. Again. I'm not a developer but, from what I've researched, this is the complaints people who are in the industry have said verbatim. I doubt we'll have to worry about outsourcing any time soon.

The oil extraction and exploration, aka the Petroleum Engineering sector is near dead, not the refining and processing of it. Everything needs to be processed breh, that's where Chemical Engineers come in. If that was the case, then diesel, propane, gasoline, jet fuel, asphalt, etc wouldn't exist. Unless you're fine with everyone using raw unprocessed crude oil instead
