    I’m most likely gonna be a chemical engineering major and The role that sounds the most interesting for me and I may even be passionate about it is R&D but that’s most likely because I really like science and I’m more of a scientist rather then an engineer 😅 and even would like to be in a lab second is process engineer but I may change to chemistry but I’m scared of changing to chem because of all the things I hear and that chemE is more flexible but if I did go chemE and didn’t change to chem I’ll do all I can to go into R&D at least I hope so 😅

      a lot of plants and industrial facilities are in more rural areas. site locations for oil and gas and mining may have a FIFO (fly in fly out) work policy, e.g. you work for 2 weeks on site (working 10-12hr shifts) then they fly you home and you're off for two weeks. you could also work for consulting companies which are based in cities, however, the most pay will usually be at rural areas
