I did applied chemistry and my recollection of chemical engineering is about big factory chemistry, reaction vessels, scaling up, filtration, distillation plants ect.

The chemistry and by-products component of your degree will probably provide you with a greater knowledge to pursue an Environmental Management masters rather than an engineering master which you probably don't have the right background for, and thus have to work much harder for it.

However, the salary for an engineer would be much greater than an environmental manager.

Do what interests you, as you will be working hard for it!

obviously, it depends on what you want to DO with your degrees

if you want to focus on envirnomental management, then clearly more education there can be an advantage, but focusing is also limiting

for most engineering jobs in the U.S., a masters degree of anykind is not very helpful

however, for research oriented jobs or teaching jobs, a master's degree can be helpful or necessary

a degree is a tool

you can't decide what tool to use unless you know what kind of work you want to do

if you are going to dig a hole, don't use a screw driver, but don't try to drive wood screws with a shovel

in case you opt to pass into engineering administration, then getting an MBA may well be the terrific undertaking. If chemical engineering is what your hobby is, then you certainly would be interpreting a uniqueness interior your selected self-discipline. basically make specific the self-discipline you decide on for is hiring human beings to do what you have studied to do.
