Is it a right choice to be a postgraduate in Chemical engineering?

I graduated from university two years ago,and continued my postgraduate study in chemical engineering. Two years has passed. I've never thought of being like this. My task is on the front edge,and just two foreign groups have done in this realm. So I have to do everthing on my own. I have been exploring for over one year.Coup de grace, succeed in nothing at all. I am so dissapointed and grieved. The bad feelings have always been in my life. For this,my weight has dropped 5 kg. Infact I was not fat then. The worst is my emotion. I've been being sad for one year,so I can't imagine and bear one year more. I'll graduate next year, but I figured out nothing. If you have the same situation with me. Say it out.And help me please.

I've done a master degree in chemistry 6 years ago. It was on physical chemistry. No much research is being done in the industries on that and I woke up unemployed at the end of my master. I've done little jobs like lecturer, try to open my own business (with a partner) but no luck. So i've changed completly and I've returned to the university doing a grad study in computer science. Now I have a good job and it's not hard to find one when I lose one. I recommend you to change your path. But it's never too late. I'm 33 and I only got 4 year experience in computer science. Good luck to you.
