What would be the best course of action to create my own engineering firm?
I have a strong connection to the environment and have made it my goal in life to protect the earth in anyway that I can. The route I would like to pursue is through engineering products/ procedures for households and businesses that eliminate waste, while also using natural materials that are plastic free. However, I'm struggling to even pay for college currently so opening up my own firm seems like quite the personal challenge. Any advice for any stage would be greatly appreciated. Some specific things I would like to know are: What classes would be best to expand my knowledge? What are some sustainable companies that might have internships available? What is it like working at an engineering firm? What are the steps to opening one? I really believe I have a vision for the future and I would love to work hard to see it happen.
What is an environmental engineering job like, and will I be able to get a good job with lots of field work compared to office work if I major in Environmental Engineering instead of Environmental Science
I am an upcoming freshman at the University of Florida, and I am planning on majoring in Environmental Science/Biology/Environmental Engineering. I plan on pursuing a master's degree I am looking to have a job that's about half field work and half office-style work. #Spring25
What should I do besides school in order to get a good Ecology/Environmental Science job that pays decently?
I am an upcoming freshman at the University of Florida, and I am planning on majoring in Environmental Science/Biology/Environmental Engineering, and then going on to get a Master's Degree. I am looking to have a job that's about half field work and half office-style work. I have heard that it is really important to do GIS and get a lot of internships/volunteering, but what other things/specific classwork do I need to do to make myself more hirable in the field? #Spring25

What should I major in college? It's a very personalized process but i'm lost.
I'm in college, my first official year, but I almost have my associate's degree already (due to AP and summer courses). However, I don't know what to major in, and I feel that I need to decide quickly. I know many people will say to go off your interests and what you're good at, but I don't feel passionate about anything in particular. I've noticed I take a liking towards history in a more casual way, and I do like sciences such as Bio and Chem (Took both as AP and passed exams). I'm okay at math, but I don't have an interest in it. For reference, I took Calc AB in High School senior year and passed the class but not the exam. As far as career interest tests, I've ended up being recommended various science and engineering jobs/majors, but I don't think engineering is for me. I don't think I have the discipline it requires when it comes to engineering because throughout school I've been able to fly through quite easily (which has set up bad habits as far as discipline of studying and putting in time after school). I've gone through school with flying colors, but I feel purposeless and almost like I'm wasting talent. I graduated recently in 2024, so it's quite early to say that, but I've graduated near the top of my class with a 4.195 GPA, and I just don't know what to pursue. I've liked science the most, but subjects like Bio and Chem are so complex and nuanced that I wonder if I've only touched the surface and it's too early to say if I enjoy it. I will say that some engineering sounded interesting, such as Biomedical Engineering or Environmental Engineering, but I'm not very hands-on and as I said earlier, I'm not sure if engineering is for me. I also have an interest in food in a general sense, if that helps at all. (Maybe something like a Food Scientist/Technician?) Any and all replies are appreciated. This became a ramble of sorts, but I wanted to get my thoughts out there, and I can provide any clarification with responses.
I’m undecided whether I should choose chemical or environmental engineering. I want to know which will be worth it?
My strong subject is science, a little bit bad at math but I know I can learn. I don’t want to stay in a single working environment, I want to be able to travel and move around. I also would appreciate a reality check on both of these engineering fields, are these any good when put into the engineering field. Are they worth it at the end both financially and mentally ?

What major for interests in sustainable/alternative/nuclear power engineering/generation, sustainable urban planning, architecture, research, material science, civil infrastructure...?
Hello! I am a high school senior trying to apply to colleges and figure out my major, but I feel very indecisive. I'd like to have opportunities to research and develop new technologies and alternative energies!! Maybe even in a nuclear plant!? And also solutions to dealing with nuclear waste and stuff like that. I want to design efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to energy problems. As well as implementing electrical power systems in the world as well. And of course, chemistry is super interesting I've also been creative my whole life, and growing up in a plain city, I really love looking at and, on rare occasions, visiting places with interesting, beautiful, and tall buildings, as well as appreciating inviting designs that promote sustainability and walkability and I would love to contribute to a more beautiful world in this way as well. So maybe architecture/architectural engineering would be good for me? I also am really excited about civil engineering labs (I hear you get to build stuff? Cool!!) I also have an interest in getting into the nitty-gritty of situations and hashing out the details as well as the big picture. On an unrelated note, I've also had an interest in videogame design + programming, graphic design, and animation my whole life. Are there any good colleges with clubs like this where I can grow my skills in these areas, but still focus on engineering and do well? Is there any other factors I should consider when picking a major? Or anything else I could look into to get to know myself a bit more and see what I really prefer? Any options to somehow do everything I just listed?? Also I am learning about hydraulic engineering and I really like the sound of it a LOT but AHHHH there's so much and ofc transportation but mostly you already know the rest of the stuff I wrote.. I know most of this points to maybe like Civil Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering and a concentration in Structural engineering,, but I really am going to be sad forever that I won't be a physicist or a energy engineer or a researcher or a hydraulic engineer or a nuclear engineer... Maybe I could do architecture in the future but yeah 😭😭 Also I really wanted to do physics for a while could I start my education all over again when I'm older and have a career and do research

What are some effective ways to transfer into the biomedical engineering field after getting a bachelor's in biology and environmental engineering?
I am currently a fourth year student (graduating after one more year) at the University of Georgia pursuing a B.S. in Biology and a B.S.ENVE in Environmental Engineering. I added my environmental engineering degree during my second year because I wanted to supplement my biology curriculum with a background in engineering and had plans to go into the alternative fuel industry (such as biofuels, wind, solar, etc.) upon graduation. However, after having passed through my courses in both environmental engineering and biology I have realized that I'd like to mesh the two disciplines more and transition into the field of biomedical engineering. Unfortunately, this transition into the field is daunting considering I do not have an academic background specifically in biomedical, biological, or biochemical engineering. I wonder if any professionals in the field have made a similar transition into biomedical engineering before or have any advice regarding how best to do so? Thanks! #biomedical-engineering #engineer #biology #engineering #environmental-engineering
