Hi my name is Lynh and I am a senior in high school. I've been debating my career path but I know I want to improve our environment and better our planet. I was wondering how many years environmental engineers go to school and how college was like for you? Thank you!

This was a WONDERFUL part of the program because once I graduated I already had a year of work experience- and I made some money while in school. If you have decided on engineering- I would recommend a school that supports a co-op or internship program. Best wishes to you in 2017! Sincerely, Kristin
