As a practical matter, you also have to figure out where the economy is going to be five years from now. Aerospace hiring is going down the tubes currently, but will probably be a different story by the time you get done.

I didn't realize that ChE wasn't exactly what I thought it would be until I was 2 years into the program, but then I found out that it was MORE interesting than what I had originally thought.
