Yeah, this article (if you can call it that) is a little short on the facts. Chemical Engineering beats Sports Physiology, and it always will.
Students with egineering degrees are getting summer COOP jobs and earning $15,000-$20,000 for about 3 1/2 months work.
They are getting 4-5 offers with starting salaries of $55,000 to $60,000.

I have a chemical engineering degree. Check the life expectancy of a chemist or chem engineer. 55 years. I abandoned my chem engineer degree for mechanical and electrical years ago. My 3rd trip to the emergency room convinced me. Chem engineers may be one of the highest paying of the engineering fields, but I want to live to retirement age. I have 3 friends who got out of the field for similar reasons. One is now a programmer, the second a mechanical engineer and the third an electrical engineer.
