I need to update my resume, but my current career path follows my masters and not so much my bachelor’s degree. I have experience for 2 years from a B4 that aligns with my masters. I don’t want to do any work in what my bachelor’s is as I really dont like it. Can I leave out my pervious experience aligning with my bachelor’s before the B4 experience in my resume when I apply to new jobs?

Resume is a factual marketing document meant to support your career goals.

Just rewrite that experience to support what you do now. What soft skills did you develop that you still use. Leading people? Did you develop any analytical skills that carry over. Folks in the military have people that help them translate what they did in the military to the business world for example. You just need to translate it

Imo, it’s ok to leave out things in your resume as long as it doesn’t create a glaring gap that will attract attention. But people might be more understanding than you might think of changes in interest. It’s normal for people to refine and change career interests over time

Don't leave out the other experience. However, don't give it tons of space, and focus on transferable or impressive skills. Maybe you want to do consulting, and chemical engineering sounds irrelevant, but there is more overlap than you think. Consultants appreciate the value of rigorous problem solving, careful analysis, aligning on roles/responsibilities and communicating technical results to non-technical managers/stakeholders.
