Find some paper mills…always looking for interns.

If he ain’t from mamou he ain’t coming offshore.

Also, places like Dell, Lockheed Martin and NASA also hire ChemE interns.
ChemE’s are in demand, and in my unprofessional opinion, our country needs many more of them.

Many if not most of the paper mills have been closed and demolished over the last 25 years.

Take a job in his field, pad the resume. Always looking for a better job.

Just got back from BR and the beautiful LSU campus, helping my son move for the summer for this research internship. First time I've spent meaningful time in BR since I was there in 1988-1991. Some observances:
Damn that inbound traffic on the I10 bridge sucks. Doesn't matter what time of day. I realize they can't easily add lanes to it.. what can you do?
The Mississippi river there in BR has always fascinated me. I know, to y'all it's no big deal. But it is so HUGE and turbulent. Mighty indeed. I could just sit and look at it for an hour.
The road conditions. Dude. WTF. I thought Oklahoma was bad, but damn.
When I was there in my late teens/early 20s I always thought, damn, there must be something in the water because there are fine women everywhere. And that's still pretty much the case. The hottie-per-capita rating in BR is up there pretty high.

This is also true compared to beaches in SoCal. I took a few classes at McNeese after two years living near the beach in SoCal (paid for by Shell) and my head was on a pivot like a owl after returning, much more than the beaches of Orange County, CA. Much more target rich near the LSU campus here in BTR. This is the main reason I will go to Trader Joe's or the WalMart Neighborhood market on Highland near campus instead of wife

Haha we were there on Monday and.. yeah. There’s good looking women in OKC/Norman but the ratio isn’t even close to BR.

Finding good ones is hard as hell. Most think they know everything when the graduate and the reality is, you don't know shite at that point. Be willing to listen to the experienced day staff and operators and learn from them; those who end up doing the best usually do that.
And what this country needs is more skilled craftsmen and medical professionals.

This is a weird thing to notice, but it seems like everyone I have come across that was from ULL or whatever they are called today, is always bitching about something related to engineering.
I had a guy telling me "I was going to go into engineering when I was at UL but the guy who taught calculus was from India and I couldn't understand him".
This is just a sidebar. Something that this post reminded me of.. Carry on.

Not for a chemical engineer with decent grades and a little personality. It might be difficult for him to get a job at a chemical plant or chemical company, but there are plenty of jobs at consulting companies.

Weird observation from my statement about the bureaucratic hiring processes of some of the majors.
I’ve worked with and still work with a shite ton of engineers from all over. UL and LSU, just like any other school, produces some really good ones and some who are a real PIA to get efficient business done with.
My kid is currently a ChemE major at LSU, and it has been a great experience for them. Looking forward to a bright professional future. The U.S. and the world needs more (good) ChemE’s to help solve challenges.

Agree. I think that’s why engineers who go get some significant field and/or plant experience early on to see how reality at times clashes with ideal designs and plans end up turning into some of the most valuable, and from my personal experience, better to work with.

Don’t disagree, but also thing good engineers is also on that list.
