CSU to CC to UC? Would my decision be wise?

Hi college confidential forum people! I made this account just to ask this question because I’m honestly not sure what I should do. I asked friends, but I would like more input and I usually see people replying with valid points on here.

So I go to CSUF as a Civil/Environmental Engineer major and I think I chose wrong because I intended to try to emphasize in the environmental aspect of the major. However, CSUF does not allow that unless you graduate 4 years and apply for their master’s program for environmental engineering. They hit on all points of civil/environmental engineering just in case students don’t know what they want after graduating from the major. In my case, I already know what I want in the future, which is to hopefully try to find a job in wastewater treatment.

During one of the classes that I’m required to take for my major at CSUF (some architectural designing lab). I realized that this is not what I want. I don’t want to design buildings and such. I talked to an advisor today and asked him about the major and he told me all the stuff that I said up there ^^, about how they hit every point in civil/environmental.

I looked into different colleges and I saw that UCI offers a B.S. for environmental engineering and I contemplated whether or not to finish my fall semester at CSUF and then transfer to my local community college to finish my G.E.'s.

Would it be wise to do so? Should I transfer to a community college and then try to transfer to a UC. I feel horrible for making such a bad decision and I feel like I wasted time choosing this university. I didn’t look into my major more and I completely regret it. Can I have your guy’s input on my situation?
