<p>I just want to reiterate something said by the OP:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would aero/astro engineers travel a lot? It doesn’t seem like it to me.</p>
<p>my uncle is an aero and he does lots of government work that requires him to travel. so i wouldn’t say no</p>
<p>ok so I guess the conclusion is that there’s a job in every engineering field that involves traveling and/or outside work?</p>
<p>@ Pierre</p>
<p>Incorrect assumption.</p>
<p>^ And you know this because…?</p>
<p>alchemist, just stop. About the only engineering disciplines that I can think of that have incredibly few jobs that involve outdoor work are MatSE and ECE. Those still have the possibility of travel though. Every other discipline has at least some jobs that you can do outside and that you can travel for.</p>
<p>Just finished talking to the Head of the Nuclear Engineering Department at TAMU for my new student orientation, and he said that overseas jobs/internships are plentiful in this field. I don’t know if a permanent overseas job fits your idea of travel. And as mentioned above, jobs dealing with nuclear powered ships would probably also lead to travel.</p>
<p>Please accept my sincere apology.</p>
<p>charlie- I dont know about chemE but I know of a couple people who majored in mechanical and were able to get hired as a petroleum engineer.</p>
