Chemical Engineering isn't easy...but you really only have to get your bachelors degree. 4 years of busting your ass...then profit. 8 years is a PhD in something like history or english...think minimum of 10 years of school for science PhD's. Chemical engineering you at least get paid handsomely for your work. You could almost consider a BS in chemical engineering a terminal degree. And they're in high demand, mainly because no one wants to do the work...but if you looks at the work/payoff ratio I've been describing in regards to PhD studies, it's almost a no brainer.
I don't really considering engineering a science major...it's an engineering major, so when I say science PhD's, I do not mean any of the engineering ones. Their outlook is better than pretty much everyone else's, if you ask me.

It's a science major because you have to take tons of science courses but you are right that an engineer isn't necessarily a scientist. And if you think more than about 5% of the population could get a Chem E B.S. you are talking to a rather rarified group of people. No matter how hard they tried most people couldn't get through Organic. Ever.
