Chemical Engineering has some of the highest salaries for all engineers, so I think you will be just fine  |
Yeah you're right. Unfortunately, I am still living with my family and probably will be my whole life. It's a cultural thing. We've been living in apartments our whole lives and I want to buy a house within a year of beginning my engineering job. Not necessarily a huge house, but something big enough for the family. It would be me paying for most of it, but my parents and sister would help too.
