Chemical engineers base salaries usually start around 60-65K, but if you work for an oil company (Chevron, Exxon, Schlumberger, etc.) it's usually closer to 100K after multipliers and annual bonuses, and could be more if factor in total benefits

Government jobs pay shite. Even working for defense contractors such as Lockheed you are usually going to be on the lower end of the pay scale. That being said, a lot of the time the benefits can't be beat.

But yeah, going private, especially in the oil field, is the way to go.
