I've been a chemical engineer for 13 years, it was a joke about it being safe. One of my first jobs was with hydrofluoric acid ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've heard stories of grad students flat out refusing to work with HF. (Never relevant for me, other than being something very scary.)

Now imagine a contract manufacturing plant that hires line workers through temp agencies and you can understand why I am yearning for a safe chemE job

(I walked out of that place btw)

You want the job designing plants, not the job where you die when the plant you designed blows up.

No I don't

I want safely designed plants and people who work at them to know how to work safe
