"A lot of people I've talked to think that engineering of any sort, not just environmental engineering, is just about math, science, and formulas, and it's not. It's a very challenging and rewarding career that is essential in solving modern-day problems and environmental issues that we are facing as human beings. There will always be engineering jobs. An increase in public awareness of environmental hazards and a dramatic rise in populations is likely to contribute to the rising demand for those who have the knowledge and skills to lead the pack as environmental managers."
