I plan on attending a four year university with an engineering program. I'd like to major in environmental/civil engineering. With a degree in environmental engineering, I could work as a consultant for big companies, work at an engineering firm, or work as an engineer at a specific business like my coworkers have done at Spiral Waters building filters. 

A degree in environmental engineering could take me to grad school or business school to receive a PhD in an engineering/environmental field, or a masters in business. If I choose that route, I could obtain very high positions at engineering firms or industrial companies, even start my own firm once I have several years of experience. 

The median salary for Environmental Engineers in the United States is $83,360, but it isn't uncommon for an engineer to make over $100,000 a year. In California, Environmental Engineers make an average annual salary of $99,410 per year. If all goes well, I could get a job as an Environmental Engineer immediately after graduation from my 4 year university, and make around $90,000 a year. 

All Engineers are very dedicated and smart, because engineering school is so rigorous. Majoring in engineering usually requiring at least 4 years of 4 classes that are all necessary for your major. Engineers are curious about how things work, and are very creative. Engineers are very exact, good designers, and often come up with original solutions to problems.
