Hi , I'm currently studying Chemistry , Biology , Maths and Psychology - I Achieved A- Psychology , B's in Maths and Biology and a C in chemistry.I therefore wanted to drop chemistry and do Civil engineering which only requires maths in many universities , But My parents want me to study chemical engineering which requires at least a B in chemistry - So Civil engineering or Chemical engineering and why?

If you want to do civil then do that. What your parents want you to study is irrelevant.

I agree with Smack do what you want to do. Since it's u whose going to be doing the course not your parents.Remember though that your parents are there to guide you,not control u. Good luck! :smile:

Another vote for living your own life, rather than having your parents live through you.

Chemical is better for salary, neither is too bad in terms of prospects, and i would suggest you do civil engineering because it needs mainly maths, while you might find chemical engineering difficult with a C.
