<p>i wouldn’t go into environmental engineering if your main reason is to get a job. </p>
<p>You’re up against civil / chemical engineers depending on which parts of environmental engineering you choose to specialize in. They can take your jobs, you can’t take their “hardcore” civil or chemical jobs. </p>
<p>For example a civil guy can do wastewater if he takes a class in it, you can’t design buildings.
Or a chem eng can do air pollution by taking the air pollution class while you can’t do oil / gas. </p>
<p>Just by placement rates, at my school there are more unemployed environmental students than civil or chemical ones.</p>
