Confused about Chemical engineering

I'm currently in year 13 in a massive confusion on what to do for university, I'm currently looking at whether to do Chem Eng or Biochemistry(I know they might be a weird combination to consider). I've taken an interest for chemical engineering as I guess its not JUST physics and there's a tad bit of chemistry involved. I was however kind of confused on the job opportunities for graduates in such a competitive field and was wondering what would be available to someone who just graduated with a MEng in chemical engineering. If also your able to tell me about the opportunities for growth educationally (such as after masters) and also a common earning potential within the field it would be very appreciated. I was also wondering about the sectors you can go into as I heard you can also do finance or Pharma.
I had also saw 'Chartered Chemical engineer' and was wondering what it actually is, if its worth it in the long term for development, and how to do it. Any advice related to Chemical engineering will be heavily appreciated
Thanks,

Chemical Engineering is the worst named degree on the planet because the job opportunity that comes with it is called Process Engineer which is probably why you are not finding any jobs for Chemical Engineers.
Process engineers are involved with any form of process that sees the mixing, moving or storing of chemicals, slurries, powders and so on. The industry is massive. Pretty much the whole of the food industry, pharmaceutics industry, oil and gas industry and nuclear industry come under process engineering and your day to day job is proposing, constructing or managing processes that see things transported and mixed. I have a number of friends who are process engineers. All love it. Most have travelled all around the world and all are loaded.
Good luck!

I would say I am more keen on physical sciences than life science anyway and I am aware of the lack of chemistry in chemical engineering, it kind of made me wish that I took physics instead of Biology as I was planning initially to go into healthcare but doing A level biology made me realise that I didn’t actually like biology that much so I would say the actual aspect of engineering appeals to me.
Thank you for your informative reply

Thank you very much for your reply and actually helped me figure out why I wasn’t seeing loads of jobs. Ik a lot of it comes down to passion but do you know how much you can make working as a process engineer ?

Why not apply for pure chemistry?

Also I haven’t done enough research on the jobs available for it and the ones I do know of don’t really appeal to me

Chemistry grad here. Do chemical engineering…
