I'm currently studying environmental engineering right now in the Philippines and I have great interest in healing the environment but along the way I found myself lost and my motivation is slowly fading because engineering was hard and I get to stumble upon this video and it brings me back again to the reason why I wanna be an environmental engineer thank you💓

[@mattefresca]

I believe in you! :)

[@luckyms890]

Hello My name is Leesi Barinem and I love this video! I am pursuing an environmental engineering degree and my focus is water technology. I attained an Anthropology degree as an undergraduate and I would like to transition into a STEM career. Do you have advise, when it comes to job/internships that will provide funding opportunities for graduate programs? Thanks for sharing your story Ms. Losleben!

[@laura-sierra]

+Leesi bright Hi! I just started studying Environmental Engineering this year, and I would like to ask you some questions about the career, can I?

[@luckyms890]

Hello again! Yes, I am open to questions.

[@laura-sierra]

Can i have your email, or something?

[@luckyms890]

sure, [e-mail]

[@MissLucyLu2014]

Yes. But if you haven't received that degree yet, I would major in Environmental Science so that your career path may be open to a variety of things.

[@LeveragedFinance]

Probably drives to Long Island, after all she did a project there and Jones beach is about 1 hr away.

[@brandyspain7125]

Awesome

[@TheDylan5]

I think i would love do this, but im not very good at math.

[@chill3n456]

How does the future in this field look? I'm very interested in environmental engineering, but I also don't want to be unemployed too long. I hope I don't sound selfish. D:

[@deretano_fondelli]

depends which field, Env. Eng. is very wide.

[@mollanega7386]

You are excellent environmental engineer. how you think about Ethiopia, I hope your will came to us and we solve environmental problems together!!.

[@ukhio]

I love chemistry but not sure if I like leaving city everytime. I rather prefer being and working in a city... would I be wrong if I go for this career?

[@tilactl]

Depends, some environmental engineers do work in offices or hover around a small area. Research what environmental engineer jobs are available in your area to see if you'll be able to stick around where you like.

[@ukhio]

tilactl well thanks, where I live most of them are asociated to mining which means you have to drive above 5000 meters of the sea or working with sewage which is not so healthy I think since most of treatment plants smell reallly bad

[@PlayfulWolfPup]

I could do this for the rest of my life

[@ohmanijustsaid9582]

How much is the salary?

[@AceofDlamonds]

Are Environmental Engineers usually Chem E or something........my school offers a relatively obscure "Energy Engineering" degree. I'm thinking about taking it....switching over from Mechanical.

[@AceofDlamonds]

***** Sticking to Mechanical :)

[@AceofDlamonds]

***** The "Energy Engineering" line seemed too specialized. Advisors told me clearly it was only available at the branch campus I'm attending now. There's not even a degree for it in the main Purdue campus. It's a subset of the Mech Engr department too and the curriculum to a certain point is the same. Then it diverges after the essential Calculus, Physics, and Thermodynamics stuff is complete. I figured it would be safer sticking to Mechanical. Though I may try for a second opinion and see what I can do.

[@amandagonzales884]

This is pretty much the only thing I want to major in but I've never cared for or been strong in math or science. :/

[@hxhxhgfd]

+Amanda Gonzales ....Then you probably don't want to major in this. If you're simply looking for a career that takes you outdoors, there are plenty of other options that aren't so math and science intensive as the engineering field.

[@ratbastard6293]

@@hxhxhgfdAre there any decent paying outdor jobs that don’t rely heavily on stem?

Environmental Engineers check out Oil Spill Freeze Salvage now playing on You Tube under Oil Spill Solution. What do you think: Is salvage better than dispersants, sinking agents or making oil into a solid waste?

[@alexisgomezsalinas3560]

How much does she earn per year ?

[@rstreep101]

+Alexis Gómez Salinas The average starting salary for Environmental Engineering is around $45,000-$55,000 a year.( $24.00 an hour) Like she said your work hours are about 40 per week. Those with 10+ years make an average of $82,000+ per year.

[@yes2542]

Is there environmental engineers that help Animals?

Imagine taking water samples on a cold winter day when you are over 40-50 and your back hurts. Not the best career in the long term.

[@zbinford]

Then you manage other Engineers..? I'm sure by the time she is 50 she will be a head engineer of that company or some other and do part time field work. There are always other options.
