Описание: Chemical Engineering vs Metallurgy salary in South Africa. Which degree pays more in mining?

In this video, I compare Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy using real anonymous payslips from engineers working at the same coal mining company in different operations. If you are choosing between Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy, this is the real salary comparison you need to see.

We break down:

• What Chemical Engineers actually do in mining
• What Metallurgists actually do in plant operations
• Core university modules for both degrees
• Career paths inside and outside mining
• Why Chemical Engineering is broader
• Why Metallurgy is more specialised
• Which degree gives you better flexibility if you are unsure

As a Metallurgist, I share my honest view. If I were choosing today, I would strongly consider Chemical Engineering because of its broader career mobility and ability to pivot across industries.

Now here is the important part.

After reviewing real payslips, Chemical Engineers and Metallurgists in similar mining plant roles earn comparable salaries. The difference comes from experience level, not the degree title.
