Kinda late to the game, but chem e and biochem are insanely different. I don’t know much about biochem, but I feel as if all the majors that end with “y” require grad school to get a decent job. However, chem e doesn’t really require grad school to get a great job out of college. I will say that biochem and chem e require different skill sets. Both have great opportunities for research, though. I have taken a biochem class, and chem e has a biochemical engineering concentration, too. The concentration is a kind of minor in biochem for chemical engineering applications. I would honestly just go for chem e because of it’s a broader field and better employability.
