I know this is kinda niche but I thought I’d ask. I’m kind of looking for a modern medical, feminine and alternative ish look like this. I will obviously visiting my local thrift stores. Xx
Should I do a masters in chemistry or chem engineering?
Some context: I’m interested in working in the energy field, and topic such as nuclear energy and hydrogen fuel interests me. If I could chose anything, I think the energy field with applications in space science and technology would be an awesome field to work in.
I’m applying to grad school right now, and I essentially have two choices:
The first school’s program is an M.S in chemistry, and this school has loads of cool chemical research, but nothing specifically in the energy field (I think. It’s hard to find online) but they do have astrochem research.
The second school is an M.S in chemical engineering, but the program is more industry focused, which I’m not sure if I’m into. But, this school has research in both hydrogen and nuclear energy.
Both of the schools have a partnership with the local national laboratory which specifically studies energy, mainly nuclear topics.
I’m kind of stumped in which school to choose, as I know I love research and academia but I’m not sure how I’d like an industry focused program, even though they have research in topics I like.
P.s. would it really matter which go to? Like would one program help my career exponentially compared to the other? In my mind I feel a degree in chem engineering would make me more money, but I love the deep science of things. operations and general processes kind of bore me.
Thank you :)
