Jessica AddedMonday, April 18, 2016 at 10:28 AM More agricultural jobs for environmental engineers Hey, I'm Jessica, I'm a junior in high school and I have been looking into environmental engineering as a choice to major in at college but I'm not sure what exactly it's all about or if it'd be the right job for me. I'm really interesting in farming, outdoors, gardening and things a little more on the agricultural side, but I don't know of any good paying jobs that aren't declining in growth.. my dad and some teachers suggested environmental engineering, so is there a certain type of environmental engineer that would do more agriculture jobs? As in improving soil quality for farming businesses or finding ways to improve their crops or anything like that? I'm trying to get everything together in my head so that I can find a job I will enjoy and not have to switch majors if I figure out I hate it.. Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you soon. -Jessica Related to Choosing a Degree, Environmental, Work Environment Reset Sort By Default Peggy Layne , Virginia Tech Answered Monday, April 18, 2016 at 10:28 AM At Virginia Tech we have a program called Biological Systems Engineering that combines many of your interests. That program offers a focus on water resources, preparing students to manage wastes from agriculture operations as well as industrial and household wastes. You can find more information about that program here: https://www.bse.vt.edu/undergraduate/index.html. Other universities offer similar programs, especially land grant universities that have colleges of agriculture and colleges of engineering, like Cornell, Ohio State, or North Carolina State.
