What IT thingy you doing now?

Very good since you will utilize a lot of thinking of engineering there.
Oracle SQL, you write application for support? Or helping production line get their data by query for them?
Some production support are data crunchers.
Chemical engineering highest population are females.
A lot engineering fields are high risk. Not all, you can choose to work in the more office job after you grad.
Such as banking, semiconductor fields, etc.
From my opinion, engineering is very easy to get a job. There are a lot of jobs related to chemical engineering.
Such as O&G, semicon, process, solar etc etc..
