Sir is it better to take the chemical engineering or civil engineering.

It is near to impossible to distinguish between these two streams as they have a little academic relationship, choosing civil or chemical engineering career depends on your interest. The job opportunities in the US are different. Civil engineers are required almost everywhere, and to a large extent, you will be just as likely to find work in your hometown or near where you went to the college. In chemical engineering, the type of work will match the location, as jobs are mostly associated with manufacturing in the end. So jobs are the easiest to find in places like Texas and Louisiana, where the oil and gases are produced, as well as chemicals based on oil and gas. In other places, there may be more jobs related to food processing, paper manufacturing, drug manufacturing, semiconductors or medical device manufacturing. Chemical engineers tend to get specialised after the 5-10 years of work, so the job opportunities become more concentrated in the location as well. Both have opportunities to work outdoors in civil engineering, in construction, in chemical engineering, in manufacturing and petroleum production.

Civil branch has better scope in government jobs but for that you have to go through the competitive exams like IES or else you will get low paid salary at starting. In chemical, you can get good salaried jobs in private companies.
