<p>which one allows for more career opportunities?
I did research before I posted this thread, but I can't seem to find the information that I can properly understand. </p>
<p>And what careers would each allow me?</p>
<p>environmental engineering definitally has more career opportunities. It'll be a harder degree to get too.</p>
<p>As my environmental engineering professor once said, environmental engineers have more opportunities and start at a higher salary compared to environmental scientist. But the catch is that there is a lot of work involved in engineering, so be prepared.
Jobwise: EPA, oil companies, a consultant, can also do law, medical and so much more. I am about to start an internship over the summer with an environmental law company.</p>
<p>environmental science: leads to a paper pushing career for some law or consultancy firm. it has little-nothing to do with interacting with the environment.</p>
<p>environmental engineering: more interaction with the physical environment and learn the mathematical and experimental tools needed to both understand and manipulate environmental phenomenon. if you want you can also become a paper pusher, or you can actually do something to help the environment.</p>
