Career And Jobs

[foundit]

I am old.

I have a BS and an MBA from American universities.  I did study some for my undegrad in Ireland.

I used to sell spy airplanes to the Feds, so they can spy on all of us.  I just started my own business selling infrared navigation systems.  I am launching at the Miami Boat Show in Feb.

Working on my chemical engineering degree at University of Delaware, probably work awhile afterwards and go to law school and be a patent attorney.

I dont plan to cheat the system. Being a pharmacists will already be good enough pay. I 'm not the kind that is greedy so I wouldn't do such a thing.

Chemistry! That was the other thing I was considering.

This man is going to be loaded some day. Lawyers with chem degrees make craptons of money.

They do?  Maby I'm just ignorant, but it seems to me that chemistry and law are two of the potentially least related fields you could possibly study.

[Legionnaired]

Exactly. The demand for it is there, but nobody ever fills it. Low supply, high demand = Moneyx10

Chemical Engineering, IIRC, is slightly different from chemistry.

Quite.  At least at my school it's the hardest undergrad engineering degree program, and by consequence one of the hardest degree programs period.  Props to Keyser.

And yes, mixing a law degree or MBA and an engineering or high science degree is a great way to make a lot of money.

[That Annoying Kid]

oh career wise I want to go to community college until I can fulfill the guaranteed transfer program, then maybe go to UCD or something and go premed, then either take a internests fellowship and go the addiction medicine specilization route ala Dr. Drew Pinsky, or I might decide to go for 2 more years or residencys and specilizations and become a psychiatrist

Chemical engineering has the same core classes as chem majors freshman year, but then they break off. ChemE's take courses focused in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and general physics, while Chems focus more on the stoichiometry and quantum aspects of chemistry.

In short, chemists work in the lab performing titrations and measuring the speed of protons, while chemical engineers actually go out and accomplish practical work.  :rolleyes:

ChemE is the hardest major at Delaware hands down (party school), even when it is bit of a party school. When I see all my business major friends stumbling into my room at 10:00 on thursday drunk to hell, I want to secretly drown them in my toilet.

Not that I don't have my fun, but it's still frustrating how hard you have to work. It makes you appreciate the times when you can relax, those few and far inbetween moments.

(Right now I'm procrastinating doing a quantitative chemistry lab, and a set of calculus problems, thanks guys)

[Necrosis]

Combining law and chemistry gives you an edge in any sort of firm specialising (or hoping to specialise) in cases within the drugs industry.

Its the same way qualified doctors can study law and make a killing on malpractice suits.

[-Lancer-]

I'm a sales rep for rogers wireless. Its good fun, but id want to be making more money. Probably gonna go back to school and eventually get my MBA.

[Diablus]

Planning on becoming a history teacher grades 6-12, also gonna get my masters in History and a degree in special education to make me more valuable to schools. Work my ass off the first 10-25 years, MABYE work my way up to administration OR retire in my early 40's and get back into gaming for the rest of my life and be "the cool grandpa who plays video games seriously with his grandkids"

[snapback]35384[/snapback]

retire in your early 40's?! you live in another reality than mine.

[snapback]35388[/snapback]

Actually my dads good friend is a spanish teacher, hes 43 and retiring. My retired neibor also was a physics teacher and retired in his early 40's as well. Commack School District is one of the top paying schools in NY state, he'll its prob in the top in the USA if anything.

[Niteowl]

Chemistry work is usually research, Chemical Engineering work is usually the commercial production of said research. At my Alma Mater, the hardest degree (I think it is, anyways) is Engineering Physics.

[fatty]

What do you wanna do with MIS? Most of the folks i've seen in the industry with MIS are QA or BAs.

:blink:
the industry = ?
QAs = ?
BAs = ?

All this talk of chemistry...... yeah what niteowl and keyser (Some of) says is right, chemical engineering is all about flowrates and reactors and such like, while chemistry isn`t all titrations but more the makepu of things like polymerisations etc.   I actually am a chemist working in research for a home and personal care company. Coming up with ideas for products to make your home lifes better. The actual work is quite interesting but try explaining what I do and generally I get laughed at   I wouldn`t say I`m a whizz at chemistry though, unlike some of the big brians here. But I can come up with some different twists on things.

Its amazing how much presenting you have to do though. Nowadays you have to sell your work and say why your results will be useful. Can be annoying.

Patent Law is very hard to get into, an ex work mate here tried taking a course to get into it from being a wizz at chemistry, he still hasn`t got in yet.

But good luck if you can keyser.

That's pretty nifty! Do you have your MSc. or PhD?

Heh, I was overgeneralizing a bit. In all my chem classes we just performed titration after titration.

[tankefugl (in a tent)]

H'okay.

I'm currently serving a year as a soldier, but after that I'll either continue with my own company, or put it on ice and go through a master degree in space physics.

After that, I'll take a vacation at Tau Ceti.

No pHD but I had  a MChem. 3 years degree with 1 in industry. (not a good grade though   )

Keyser, its funny how much of that you do but then end up using none of it in industry. I`ve found myself relearning most stuff but finding it useful because I`m using it practically not just theoretically.
