<p>Hello cc, first time post here. I'm a junior planing on graduating next year and I need help with a few questions and deciding if my plan is an alright road to take, if not, where I need to make any changes.
I'm really interested in becoming and environmental engineer. The water aspects of it mostly. I find that I am very passionate about the environment and want to make positive change to our said planet. Instead of living a dull life.
After I graduate, I plan on going to the Air Force, where I will be enlisted in an MOS (military occupation specialist), Bioenvironmental Engineering. I'll do that for about four years, use the GI Bill to get my masters in Environmental Engineering, possibly even go for my p.h.d. After that, go to the peace corps and help people in need. That's all I've got so far.
After the air force, go to tech to get my bachelors, then austin (or somewhere else, not too sure) to get my masters.
I have a dream frequently where I live in a field of green, where no pollution is around me and its just me and nature. I have a small house, enough to call a home. Everything is filtered through the suns energy (solar panels). I have my own animals for food. Plants for vegetables, fruits, jam, etc..
Tell me whether you think the whole "Air Force" bit is a bad idea and why. I see it as a go to college for free plan. Also, the adventure will be a bit fun.
Here's some of the questions I was meaning to ask!</p>
<p>What are some of the pro's and con's for being an env. engineer?</p>
<p>In my senior year, I plan on taking ap. physics and ap. calculus, seeing as these classes will be some of my core classes within college, or are they? If they are, is there a reason to take ap.?</p>
<p>What is it that you do on a daily basis?</p>
<p>Is the job market for this type of work bright?</p>
<p>In a sentence, how would you describe your profession?</p>
<p>Any more tips or adivice would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time!
