Assignment 6 - Averi Ricks- Chemical Engineering

I know that I want to study chemical engineering in college, but that’s about it. I don’t even really know how I came to this conclusion; I think I saw that it was the highest paying engineering job and I was sold. I’m not 100% sure what it entails, but from what I can see it seems pretty cool. I know it involves chemistry, and I like chemistry so I’m sure I’ll like it. There are a ton of different fields you can work in (like, a ton) and I think that the ones that interest me the most are pharmaceuticals and energy. Pharmaceuticals interests me because it could be fun making drugs and it doesn’t seem insanely difficult (and, lets be honest, it pays well) but I’m worried that it could get boring, because I’m assuming I’d be working with the same drugs everyday; although I guess I could potentially be making new ones. Energy seems really cool to me because I really wanna find a way for us to hurt the environment less. Even if I don’t create something entirely new, helping with other projects that would make the Earth cleaner would be just as great.
