Petroleum and chemical engineers can expect employment by energy companies,
research institutes, and the government. Chemical engineering students will take the
same foundational courses in math and science as students in other engineering
disciplines in their first and second years. After, they will learn about subjects such as
fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and process modeling in order to design
operations that will transform raw material into specified products for the various
industries they may be employed in, such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals or energy.

pharmacist, but the payoff may be quite high. Upon obtaining a degree, you'll also have
to complete an exam with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, complete an
apprenticeship and become registered with your province's college. The Government of
Canada projects a shortage of pharmacists until at least 2024, so employment
opportunities are high.

A bachelor's degree in geosciences can lead to work in mineral and petroleum
exploration, environmental consulting and urban projects, among others. These skills
are highly valued in Canada's mining industry, which has experienced some weakness
amid lower commodity prices recently. However, it's expected to expand significantly
with the recent increase in exploration over the next few years, according to COPS
6. Software Engineering
The average salary in 2017 dollars: $90,001

according to COPS, as a result of high business investment in the technology sector.
There are a few differences between a software engineering (SE) degree, a computer
science (CS) degree, and a computer engineering (CE) degree.
Software engineers deal with building and maintaining software systems. Computer
scientists focus on data, data transformation, and algorithms. Computer engineers
design, build and operate computer systems. All are highly relevant degrees with
generally big payoffs. According to COPS, in the past five years, the number of
employees in software engineering has grown by nearly half
7. Business Administration
