Ah yeah, forgot about the research, but why wouldn't they let you do it with a bachelor's or master's degree and experience?

A PhD teaches you how to do hypothesis-driven research. Those just aren't the skills you learn from a BS degree or field work. Plus, you are the world's expert on a subject when you receive a PhD and are sometimes hired to continue working on that subject.

If it's any consolation, he probably wears glasses with tape holding the center of the frames together.

they start at the same amount as a good Chem E with 4-5 years experience....
Posted on 5/18/14 at 1:41 pm to indytiger
Depends on industry, role, and level of experience. We've hired phd Chem e's that have a specialty in certain areas to do process develpment, and start them out at 125 or so. That assumes about 5 years experience in addition to the phd.
