I heard some student telling me about it at an open day and it sparked some interest in me on that day. Unfortunatley that was ages ago and now im thinking about uni and ive forgotten everything he said. I would like to know simply so that i know whether im still interested in this. Thanks in advance!

Chemical engineers are primarily involved in the design, construction and operation of chemical plants, and the chemical and physical processes which take place. Typically, it involves converting raw materials into something which can be used by a series of these processes, whilst minimising things like energy consumption and waste, as well as the impact to the environment. It is a very diverse field, with chemical engineers primarily involved in industries such as oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, etc. However, there are plenty of chemical engineers in research and development of new materials, and in the ever growing field of nanotechnology where their expertise is needed. Hope this helps :)

You earn about 50k more than a chemist! ;D

Mate, you just bumped up a post by 3 years.
That's the third spammy post from you I've seen in the space of a few hours, not cool.
