I love your core value about becoming a business owner. Being a business owner or building one involves having both financial education and professional education balanced. Financial education is where is you learn to have money work for you rather to have money work for you while professional education teaches how to work for money. So while finding a stable chemical engineering job get a part-time business that will not only provide you all the life and important skill you need to build a business, but generates enough cash flow for the entrepreneur to transition out of it current full- time job.
