If all you care about is money, well, this is the series where I go through the highest paying fields for each major and today we're talking about chemical engineering.

If all you care about is money, well, this is the series where I go through the highest paying fields for each major and today we're talking about chemical engineering. Make sure to comment down below what major you want me to do next. The first industry is oil and gas. This is where you'll help design and improve the processes that turn crude oil and natural gas into products we use every day. This is consistently one of the highest paying industries for chemical engineers and most of the jobs are typically in Texas and along the Gulf Coast. The next industry is working with semiconductor. Here chemical engineers help manufacture the computer chips that powers our phones, laptops, gaming consoles and as technology continues to advance demand for this industry will keep growing. Next up is specialty chemicals and materials. This is where you'll work on specialty chemicals and advanced materials. This could mean developing new plastics or coatings or materials that end up in everything from airplanes to electronics. It's a very broad field so there's a lot of different career paths. The next industry is pharmaceuticals and biotech. This is where you'll improve the manufacturing processes that produce life- saving medicines to make sure that they're safe, efficient and reliable. If you want to make an impact on people's lives, this could be a great industry to consider. The final industry is industrial gases. This is where chemical engineers design and optimize the processes used to produce oxygen, nitrogen and other industrial gases. These gases are essential for industries like healthcare, semiconductor manufacturing and steel production. As always try to find the intersection of what you're passionate about and what feels pay well. After all, you're going to be in that job for 40 years so you might as well like it.
