  16.   Ranju>     Hi, I was talking to a friend of mine who made mention of how low the
  17.   Ranju> demand for Chemical Engineers is.  Is this true?  I had heard that Chem Eng's
  18.   Ranju> made alot of money (higher than most other engineering fields) and were very
  19.   Ranju> much in demand.  If someone out there could assist me in the above questions,
  20.   Ranju> please email me personally, or post it.  Thanks!

  22.   I think the thing that made me choose Chemical Engineering was its
  23.   versatility.  Getting a BS in ChE does not limit you in any way.  It is an
  24.   engineering field that keeps your options open.  Anyone out there interested
  25.   in finding out some more about ChE should get hold of a copy of:
  26.  
  27.     Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, R.M. Felder and R.W.
  28.     Rousseau, 2nd ed., New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1986
  29.     (or 1st Edition, 1978).
  30.  
  31.   And read the first chapter entitled "What Chemical Engineers Sometimes Do
  32.   For A Living."  It gives a very broad perspective of Chemical Engineering.
  33.   Felder and Rousseau is THE introductory level Chemical Engineering text
  34.   book.
