Environmental Engineering - Is it for me?

<p>I'm a senior in HS and have been locked into engineering for a while now. I'm in PLTW Engineering at my school. I've taken Introduction to Engineering, Principles of Engineering, and Biotechnical Engineering. I'm taking Engineering Design & Development right now, and Civil Engineering & Architecture next semester.</p>

<p>So far what I've learned from these classes is that I really enjoy building and designing. I really love designing something and watching it be created, from hydroponics systems to composters to iPhone cases. When I was little I always wanted to be an architect, but there's not a whole lot of job availability or money in that. Modeling on Autodesk Inventor is fun too. </p>

<p>I'm currently taking AP Environmental Science and I also love it. I'm interested in what we're learning, plus it all makes sense to me - the information is extremely logical and easy to understand, and for some reason I remember it all very well. I'm very interested in geology as well, but haven't been able to taken any classes in it.</p>

<p>I'd like to work outdoors someday, at least part of the time. Traveling would be awesome. If Environmental Engineering is what I <em>think</em> it is, it seems like a good fit for me. </p>

<p>Job availability for Environmental Engineers is supposedly growing faster than many other lines of work. Based on my limited knowledge, I think as our world gets more and more trashed and we have to start going green, we'll need more Environmental Engineers.</p>

<p>If it makes any difference, my dream school is Cal Poly SLO. If I go there, I'd love to get the MBA & MS in Engineering Management after I get a BS there.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help!</p>
