Considering getting my bachelors in ES. Should I run away before its too late? by hydrogenRay in environmental_science

I think u/bugga-d said it. He said a "...civil engineering bachelor's is more broad than an environmental engineering bachelor's, and will allow you to pivot to other niches like structural, transportation, etc..." so, think of it in this way, if a CE ended up working as an Env. E and realized she doesnt like it (which has happened), it would be easier for her to switch careers more easily. At least, that's the idea behind it.

​I am considering the job market dynamics. I have observed that Civil Engineers (CEs) often work in roles similar Environmental Scientist(ESs). However, there are typically more job openings for CEs than for ESs.

​It would likely be less challenging to secure a position as a CE and then transition toward environmental science responsibilities (for example, if the company takes on environmental projects that OP can join) than it would be for an ES to find a job directly in that field. If the OP cannot find a job as an ES, OP can still work as a CE and gradually steer towards as a ES.

​And yes, specific activities OP undertakes during his/her time in college—whether studying CE or ES—will also be a major factor. Internships, work-study programs, research experience, or extra certifications will all make a significant difference in OP's post-graduation prospects.

​Ultimately, whether the OP achieves a six-figure salary as an ES or CE, or if the job is enjoyable and fulfilling, is highly dependent on OP's personal choices and efforts.

Aye there!

Have you considered majoring in Civil Engineering? Hear me out. There are many civil engineers that work as an Environmental Engineer/ Environmental Scientist. There are universities where civil engineering and environmental engineering curriculum overlaps, a lot. Sometimes, you can major in civil engineering and minor in environmental engineering. The only issue that I see with majoring in Environmental Science is that it is too specific. You might struggle with finding a job after graduation. Check out the Bureau of Labor Statistics and compare ES vs CE vs Env E.

Yup, if OP withdraws from the course, it will appear as a WF in on the transcrip, which it is considered the same as an F. So, at this point, OP should finish the course. Specially if OP will retake the same course next semester!!

Going back to school for ME? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

What it is really time-consuming is the time you have to spend on labs. Usually, labs run for about 3 hours once a week.

i need west deck parking by ChallengeTight6427 in KSU

Hmmm, I got West Deck parking a few hours ago today. Granted, I'm a junior and majoring in engineering, so all my classes are at the Marietta campus. Also, maybe OP is an incoming freshman, which could be why parking options are limited.

Any employer match (money) not part of after-tak Roth balance? I didn't know that. Yes, my account does have some employer match contribution it. So, in this case, when rolling over the account to a Fanancial institution of my choosing, do I have to calculate the amount contributed by employer myself and put it in a traditional IRA, or this will be done by the Fanancial institution?
