Where is the crazy money

[u/DRJSAN]

What are the jobs that chemE’s can get that print crazy money.

I know for the most part engineers are well paid, but I’m wondering if there’s any shot to make ridiculous money (like the higher end of SWE or big 4 consulting) using an undergrad in chemE in conjunction with any experience or further degrees.

This may seem like a shallow question, and it definitely is. I’m happy with my degree and jog, I just really want to know what the top of the mountain looks like and how people got there.

Adding color, supermajor oil and gas process engineers can make over $225K as senior, industry-wide experts, based in the US with great work/life balance. If they want more $, offshore and expat assignments add another 25-50%, for the crappier work/life trade off.
