Can I land a job with only a master's degree in chemical engineering?

I noticed most of the chemical engineering jobs require a Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a Master's is just a 'nice to have'. My bachelor's degree is in Physics and I'm still in the process of finishing my master's in chemical engineering, do you think these companies would still consider hiring me?
 
Your Physics bachelor's paired with your Master's in Chemical Engineering is a potentially strong profile! Complete your postgraduate program and make sure to highlight the relevant skills and coursework when you apply for job opportunities!

If you're wrapping up a ChemE master's, you've already got a great street cred. Physics grads are pretty sharp, just flex that and show you're up to speed with ChemE stuff.

Thank you for the kind words, this sure boosts my motivation up!

you need to look for roles that specifically mention related science backgrounds as acceptable. you'll nail it!

"ONLY" a Master's degree? That's one way to put yourself down. You're wonderful for that background! Maybe try getting work experience via an internship first or something before applying for big roles, but you're definitely fit for the job. :)
