I am a currently a junior searching for colleges. I want to be an engineer and specialize in environmental/clean energy. My ideal job would be working for an energy company making, designing or inventing clean energy alternative technology.
What are the advantages of majoring in environmental engineering since all types of engineers can be hired for these types of positions? What is the advantage of majoring in environmental engineering as opposed to a nuclear or chemical for environmental technology? If, for example, I majored in mechanical engineering, how easy would it be to choose a path related to environmental?
I am looking at colleges with strong co-op programs but not necessarily top engineering, such as Northeastern and Drexel. I am doing this so I can be sure to get a strong job and it sounds like a lot of fun. Is finding a job in environmental tech rather easy? If so, this would make co-op less important to me.
