<p>I recommend pursuing any engineering discipline related to the extraction of resources such as Petroleum, Natural Gas, Coal. These resources are continuing to drive the development of our world economy and will continue to do so for decades to come.</p>
<p>That is why my vote goes to either of these resource engineering degrees:
All 3 disciplines are expected to continue to be in high demand for years to come and not to mention the excellent salaries.</p>
<p>Geological Engineering
Mining Engineering
Petroleum Engineering</p>
<p>In the future Geothermal Engineering will likely become one of the most prominent alternative energy resources and so the above degrees will have the best opportunities of getting into the geothermal engineering field due to many of the fundamental geophysical and engineering principles being similar to geothermal.

<p>“To become a Geothermal Operations Engineer, you will need at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering. The higher degree you have, the more opportunities you will have for engineer jobs and advancement. To get to an operations level, you will need to work your way through the ranks, starting as a resource engineer or petroleum engineer. For this reason, a degree in Resource Engineering is recommended. Courses or degrees in Computer Programming are also useful in this field. Other recommended areas of knowledge are thermodynamic principals, machinery operation, and electrical power generation.”</p>
<p>Unfortunately as of yet in the US there are no solid “Geothermal Engineering” degrees that are offered but hopefully in a few decades there will be.</p>
