My College Major

I have decided what I want to do for the majority of my life.

I have decided what I want to do for the majority of my life. After much research into different careers I have finally decided to become an Environmental Engineer.

Being an Environmental Engineer means using science and engineering to improve the environment. This includes improving air quality, purifying water, building wetlands, waste management, acid rain, global warming, etc.

I want to do this because of frequent headlines that read “Coral Reefs dying rapidly” or “Ice Caps half melted”. I want to choose a career that will improve the environment. Sitting here I feel guilty that right now a tree is being cut down in the shrinking Amazon and a polar bear is retreating away from the melting ice in the Arctic.

I want to be part of the generation that fixes our environment and puts humanities course back on track. However, do to this I am going to need to find an Environmental Engineer who is already in the field whom I can help.

I want to establish an internship with an Environmental Engineer over summer of 2013. If you know anyone who is an Environmental Engineer or knows one please contact me by leaving a comment on this post. I hope you can all aid me in my quest to fulfill my dream of becoming an Environmental Engineer.
