I'm going to be a senior with Chemistry major and math minor. The problem is, I don't want to do chemistry research anymore and interested in working as a chemical engineer. I also think my mathematics minor sparked my interest in it. In my senior year I'll be working for a professor in a research lab about nanotechnology to achieve solar-to-chemical energy conversion because it looks good on my resume and I want to make some money.

So for next step should I try to find a summer ChemE internship after graduation?
Also, can chemistry majors get engineering jobs in indutries like Renewable Energy, or should I get master's in Chemical Engineering?

I would start talking to some chemE profs to see what they think.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

I know what you mean. I am going to be a senior chemistry major this year too. At least your better off than me though. I haven't done any research and am not really sure what I want to do with a Chemistry BA.
