Kelly, Florida AddedThursday, June 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM Choosing between civil and chemical engineering I am interested into becoming a Chemical engineer or a civil engineer but I'm not sure if it will be fun or not. I am usually a creative person who enjoys solving problems. When I ask my family they always say do whatever you want. Which do you recommend more and why?

Often you won't get a true feel for what a discipline offers until you've experienced the coursework and even more so when completing internships. Without knowing you and your skills specifically it is nearly impossible for me to recommend a discipline to you (although I am partial to Chemical). My suggestion would be to try out one or two classes from each discipline. If that is not possible meet with an advisor for each of the disciplines and talk to students in each of the disciplines to gather enough information to make your decision. Both disciplines offer a variety of career paths and growth. The choice is up to you.
