About to graduate with 3.4 in chemical engineering

>/sci/ tried to warn you but you didn't listen
sci is full of undergrads who keep circlejerking themselves and not realizing how bad things will be for them once they graduate. They also have a strong hate for Jow Forums for whatever reason.

a chemical company would just hire an actual software eng for that shit. There's no reason to hire a chemE who's coding knowledge is about equivalent to a bootcamp student.

This is true I guess, I haven't regularly used /sci/ since 2015. I imagine it has gotten much worse since then.

Fuckinf retard faggot, you chose a meme degree. Anything that isnt a dual major of pure math and quantum physics is a joke. Us true chads will do the heavy lifting for you brainlet neet webdev cucks.

Also this. Why wouldn't you hire a specialist for this project and if they need advice on the science side just get one of your other employees to inform them

Sci is full of literal neets and wage cucks who think because they turned a bunsen burner on they're gods.

This is your competition

Silly user, you don't need degree for that!

Pretty much everyone does this. Before I was a chemE major I was a biochem major I worked in one of my professors labs doing grunt work. He was the PA for one of the largest labs at the university. He would actually just get fullblown software developers or informatics nerds to do that kind of shit for him. It'd be far easier to just have one of his countless grad students work with the dev then it would be to hire someone who could do both.

If you're the OP why don't you go into bioinformatics? I think it will be a growth field

Because informatics is one of the single most boring fields imaginable. Though I did get into chemE because I figured it would be a good major for whenever the biotech boom occurs (if it does).

I'm very surprised you have difficulty finding a job in chemical engineering, it's a better paying sector and your degree is more in demand (chemical sector, pharma, ...) . As said, finish your degree and learn programming on the side. Informatics is sadly a part of any modern job. I'm and industrial engineer by the way, 7+ years in the industry and I can easiliy say: don't worry.

I study Mathematics, what I'm in for?
Just curious lol

>As said, finish your degree and learn programming on the side.
Would a bootcamp or full online degree program be worthwhile?

Not OP but I graduated with a similar degree but couldn't get a engineering related job for 2 years. How fucked am I?

>Its not too late to switch right?
no but think long and hard if you actually like working with computers.
>Bootcamps aren't a meme right?
they are. look up a meme python tutorial on youtube, create some web app and put it on github.

Are you saying its been 2 years since you graduated and still couldnt find work or that it took you two years? Because if its the former I would start taking pretty fucking drastic measures if I were you.

Just become an actuary

former lol

I've been attempting to do a masters between those times but I dropped out because of how bad the "university" and the professor was. I listed it off as research experience as an "assistant" so I don't know if that mitigates the problem.

Imagine thinking you need a degree for dev, jesus christ.

Lots of guys wearing socks in their sandals.

Sounds boring

Sounds fun

>Sounds fun
Very much. You can even recognize which field of math one studies based on it.
Take for example pic related. Right one is a lowly applied mathematician, perhaps flirting with computational geometry - his socks are too short to be a real mathematician and his sandals are boring and safe. The middle one has the highest powerlevel, an arithmetic geometer - notice how he's intentionally drawing attention to his bright white socks with the single roll and red 3/4 shorts, showing no fear or remorse, also notice how revealing his sandals are. Very dominant display. On the left we have a standard algebraic topologist, with socks of appropriate length, but too unrevealing sandals.
Choose your sandals and socks wisely, or you could become the laughing stock of the department, like the poor guy on the right surely is.

We tried to warn you: either you go civil, mechanical or CE

everything else is long dead.

>I wouldn't be able to replicate that kind of career if I tried
The difference between you and him is drive and not being defeatist.

That one sentence says it all. Grow a pair and aim high ffs.

this
if you are an academic with a wikipedia page you will have every university fighting to pay you 300k+ to do research there
check the databases of public school salaries if you don't believe it

Where do you live? Is there no chemical industry around? Even an average chemical engineering graduate would have zero problems finding work in Austria. The situation is probably even better in Germany.

Maybe there's something off with your application letter? How many companies did you contact?

No bonus points for left guy's cargo shorts?

this is the reason i don't wear cargo shorts anymore.

3/4 shorts > cargo shorts any time of the day, unless they're khakhi

Ok Boomer. Not like his dad is anyone to look to anyhow.

Please, ultimately you nerds will follow the lead of a business degree working as a wage slave.

You are only a chad in your own mind.

Whats CE?

>can i speak to the manager
>be confident
>firm handshake
>eye contact
>300k starting
>later virgins

chemE salary/jobs are heavily tied with oil prices
low oil prices means you're fucked m8

do one year ms cs

Computer Engineering. It's basically electrical engineering except you know how to program. Typical jobs in that realm would include embedded systems, FPGA development, or digital design. Though it's still relatively easy to get software engineering jobs as a computer engineer.

>chemical engineering
I have no doubt you can learn how to program, it really isn't that hard.
