<p>i think environmental engineering would be a really great fit for you. in most schools w/o separate enve (enviro eng), its paired together w/the chem E department. </p>
<p>its a relatively new field, expanding very quickly in the next few years. you've got the perfect undergrad training already, there are plenty of very good enve grad programs at topnotch universities. also, its not a particularly popular major, so competition level is low. its expanding very quickly, so its ALOT easier to find a tenuretrack position than say, in biology. </p>
<p>my boyfriend is an enve, his research professor got a tenuretrack position at a UC, straight out of grad school (in nearly any other major, you'd have to do a postdoc or two first!). </p>
<p>there are also alot of positions open in industry. i would even say that there are more than chem e positions.</p>
