What course would suit me?

Im considering doing chemical engeering at university but not entirely sure if its for me or would suit me. I have a list of a few things im looking for in a job and so would appreciate if anyone could give me some advice. Im looking for:
- Something to keep me on my feet and a bit more physical
- Relatively well paying
- Chemistry/Maths related
- Ideally good graduate prospects (so its not impossible to find a job lol)

If you have any idea of a course which fits these please let me know!

Thanks

Start by looking at this Careers website - hundreds of detailed of job/career profiles :

I'm not sure what you mean by "Something to keep me on my feet and a bit more physical", but you might find Gas/Oil Engineering or Civil Engineering a bit more 'outdoors' etc than Chem Eng. Or look at ways an Engineering degree could lead to more 'hands on' career environments -
