Stupid question inside about BS and MS degrees

Thank you juillet!

I agree and I’m thinking if I want to get into engineering I’ll have to start at the undergrad level. I’ll keep Earth Science/Geology as my alternate major for the three UCs I’m applying to, and theoretically that will leave me with UCD Civil Engineering, UCSB Mechanical Engineering, and UCSD Earth Science. I’ll do some more soul searching and campus touring once I figure out where I get accepted and, and go from there.

And I know what you mean about H.S. seniors basically having to decide what they want to do with the rest of their lives. I’ve been reading for months about all different types of engineering, different schools, etc. It’s been stressing me out but I think I have my applications laid out well now. I’m a very rare exception at my high school; most in my engineering classes are signing up for mechanical engineering (maybe a few civil or electrical) because they heard it’s versatile instead of going in-depth and really exploring all their options in terms of what they want to do, where they want to live, and how much money they want to make.
