I'm surprised you can't find a job with a Chemical Engineering degree.
Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
It's tough for all grads right now, but that's a good field. Hang in there and keep plugging.
I'm a Corrections Sergeant with 25+ years service in the New York State DOCS. I worked mostly max jails *Sing Sing & Attica*, but am currently at a Shock Incarceration *Boot Camp* Facility for first time offenders.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
Saw a program on tv the other day about shock incarceration, seems like a neat idea. Do you have an idea what the percentage of re-offence is for those in shock incarceration?

Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
Angelo Fatah. Lebanese-American. Friend of mine. Got his Chem PhD from UM in 1969 amid promises of the early 60's "live better, chemically", and thought he'd get a position at Dow Chem in Midland, Mich. His family, immigrant grocers, gave him a full ride. Hit the early 70's mini-recessetion in the face. Drove a taxi for 3 years, acted in Detroit Repertory Theatre plays (where I met him), stocked shelves at his Father's stores (much to his and their chagrin).
Finally caught a break in the mid-70's when he expanded his "will live in" horizens to include 'anywhere in North America': found a job with an oil company in the Gulf of Mexico, and by last report I heard, was an exec at Dow, supervising genetic research.

Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
My youngest sister & her husband are chemists. Both finished their degrees at Berkeley. He now works in the medical research department at Harvard and Traci works for a pharmaceutical company in Boston. It didn't happen upon graduation, but keep plugging at it and good things can happen.
Here's an article on shock incarceration, my facility at Lakeview and our superintendent Moscicki.
The main problem with people who go through the program is the "home environment" they return to after release. As with most things in life if one truly wants to change and turn their life around they will, but it isn't easy, nothing in life worth having is. However, sending first time felony offenders is like sending them to Criminal University where they can learn from the professionals, and is a sure way to lose them, Kurando can attest to that. Shock is a safer more positive environment for inmates and staff. The programs, from ASAT *Alcohol Substance Abuse Treatment*, GED's, work programs, etc... are geared toward instilling self-discipline, self-respect, and a positive work ethic to change ones life for the better. You get out of it what you put into it, your choice. I believe it's better way to go than regular jail. Some make it, some don't. Our most well known graduate is Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent.

Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
How about getting a higher degree? "When the market is slow get more education" is the so called wise thing to do here.
I know too little about you degree. Is it comparable to a Bachelor degree in Chemistry? Why not go for a Master - it will surely add to your paycheck when you get a job.

Re: The "Whats your job?" thread.
To expand on what Sigurd posted, isn't it a lot easier to get stipends, grants, free money etc. for grad school? I never pursued a higher degree, but my friends who did all talked about how much easier it was to get money once you were past your Bachelors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering
I think it's that.Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. In addition to producing useful materials, modern chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques - such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and biomedical engineering.[1] A person employed in this field is called a chemical engineer.
Chemical engineering largely involves the design, improvement and maintenance of processes involving chemical or biological transformations for large-scale manufacture. Chemical engineers ensure the processes are operated safely, sustainably and economically. Chemical engineers in this branch are usually employed under the title of process engineer. A related term with a wider definition is chemical technology.
