If you don't even know the differences between chemical engineers and chemist, I suggest you don't give such rubbish advice.

1. Key word here is average performer. An average performer for Chem eng will earn more due to the fact that that they usually have risk pay and transport allowance if you work in the o&g industry. They also have higher starting pay for fresh grads. For extremely good performers then it's more debatable.

2. Again for average performer, chem eng pay will be comparable if not higher than business students for reason I stated.
