<p>Thanks guys! It’s good to know that its definitely possible to get an engineering job that’s outdoors based or even indoors working on paper. Geotechnical sounds really cool as it sounds to me that it somewhat combines earth sciences and engineering, but out of curiosity what kind of stuff do geotechnical engineers do when they’re outside?
Also, would majoring in environmental or civil engineering be better for that type of job?
Thanks so much for the info, I guess majoring in civil or possible environmental engineering would be better than mechanical. I just want to be extra sure since declaring engineering would already push back my graduation at least a semester, so I won’t really be able to switch majors once I pick one.</p>
