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.

I’ve been getting 6month to 1 year “renewable” contract inquires pretty regularly for $80-90 hr, paid overtime, full benefits and 401k. These are senior process engineering rolls 10+ yr exp req. could easily hit 200k/yr that way but no guarantee past the contract.
