Millionaire Actss last blog post..Power of Positive Thinking

1. There just aren’t enough opportunities for ChEs in the country unless we relocate to Luzon. Overseas employment is the better option.

2. Most local companies don’t pay well. When I started working for the government, my first job, I was earning way more than my classmates who are working in processing plants in Luzon. Well, they probably earn more than I do now.

3. Is our license and signature worth as much as the Civil Engineers and Architects? A building cannot be constructed without licenses/permits that require the signatures of CE, ME, Sanitary Engineer, etc. Where are we in the picture?

These issued have also been discussed the last time I attended the national convention in Iloilo four years ago. I think the efforts of the PIChE are starting to gain grounds with the ChE Law and the declaration of a ChE week. Maybe we need a ChE in the Congress. I voted for Obet Pagdanganan for Senator before hoping he can help the profession.

Your blog is a good start. Hope it can be a good venue for our colleagues to discuss the issues affecting the profession.

I am a registered chemical engineer as well. It seems that most chem engg are not practising the profession. Why? THis is something I want to address. For the mean time, I created the chemical engineer’s weblog in wordpress to somehow reverse this trend.

It is said that chemical engineering are the most flexible engineering profession. Chemical Engineers get into many different field but still revolve around chemical engineering. And this goes with what you have –in the teaching and small business consultancy.

I also hope we can finally earn big money out of our licenses

Hear from you.
