After their first year the salary After their first year the salary get to be about $60,000. Then get to be about $60,000. Then later after about 20 years being later after about 20 years being a chemical engineer. The salary a chemical engineer. The salary becomes a little over $100,000.becomes a little over $100,000.

The chemical engineer when The chemical engineer when they become a higher level they become a higher level engineer, a person working as engineer, a person working as one will then become a one will then become a supervisor, and will just manage supervisor, and will just manage costs and look over the designs costs and look over the designs of the product the engineers of the product the engineers make.make.
