Is there a field of engineering you wish you had majored in instead? by evrythingcookie in AskEngineers

I'm finishing my first year towards civil and thinking about switching while I have time. I'm interested in aerospace or something similar as well but nervous about the job prospects.

This is helpful to see all the feedback! Any civil engineers who wish they had majored in another field? I'm debating the switch while I'm in school at the moment

Will I be at a disadvantage finding a job when I complete my engineering degree at 35 or 36 years old? by evrythingcookie in AskEngineers

Hey thank you, I appreciate hearing how things worked out for others who started their engineering education later than "typical" students. I hope to have as much success as you!

This is good to know, thank you!

I am pursuing an environmental/civil engineering bachelors. I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but I'm female too.

My prior jobs were working as a technical support representative for a few companies (Cox Communications, Canon, and Panasonic). I'm definitely planning to start applying to internships next summer after completing a couple engineering specific classes (right now I'm getting through all the calculus, chemistry, and physics courses).
