Teaching Assistant and Lab Technician roles made up the majority of the job ads that sought people with the Chemical Engineering degrees. It explains their surprisingly low salaries.

 

Job seekers with Chemical and Aeronautical Engineering degrees witnessed the maximum salary potential. However, they are very distant when it comes to the most demanded jobs. These are also of a very niche in nature. It is for this reason that the UK mentions just 220 job ads for these subjects with the requirement to apply for the role.
