Don't be tempted to give up studying because chemical engineering is not what you want long-term. Employers will be more interested in the class rather than the subject of your degree. Showing you were not defeated by your mistakes will impress them and provide proof of the self-reliance and resilience they are looking for. The components of your degree will be recyclable for use in a range of jobs. If you can't think how or where, pay a visit to the university's careers centre.
Poor choices are usually the result of poor information.
