<p>Here’s what I would do. Obviously, you can fully or partially ignore my opinion.</p>
<p>I would finish my engineering major by focusing in areas related to the environment while at the same time picking up a few programming skills. Environmental policy in the US is HUGE, HUGE, HUGE and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as evidenced by my use of capital letters. Think asbestos in old buildings, water pollution, air pollution, etc.</p>
<p>Then I would pursue a Master of Public Administration degree with an environmental policy concentration. Afterwards, I’d try to obtain employment with the EPA, State Dept., and even the DoD.</p>
