1. It's average, but better than software.

2: It's worth it if it appeals to you. It's not like Chem E is a lot of people's "fall back" plan.

3: Unknown for me, I'm based in North America

4: I'm a career chemical engineer, and I love it. I've worked in all sorts of industries, from semiconductors, to aerospace and defense, to chemical production. Now I'm in the medical device field and I like to describe it as "we make cyborgs".

5: Teaching / Academia is an option and you don't even have to exclude industry in lieu of it. One of my professors was actually a very senior process engineer at honeywell while he was teaching us, and he's probably one of the best instructor's I had in all school.
