What are the advantages and disadvantages in doing chemical engineering?

Good things are: 1. You have lot of opportunities in process industries with less competition. Like mechanical, electrical etc. Here more no of students are not pursuing chemical engineering. Therefore, it is easy to get a job as we have lot of vacancies. 2. Chemical engineering will be more interesting and they have wide scope unlike other engineering branch. As you know, chemical engineering is divided into polymer engineering, cement engineering, petrochemical engineering, metallurgy engineering, etc. 3. Big scope is there for research in different sectors where you cannot even imagine. Bad things are, 1. Working environment will not fit for all people. If you work in design, simulation or research then it is okay otherwise plant work culture is very different form IT work or software work culture. 2. Also, plants will be constructed out of the city. Therefore, you have to stay out of cities all times when you work in process industries. 3. Pollution is also a factor sometimes.
