I just recently finished a Drafting and Design technical program at my local cc, and I have been planning to go into civil/environmental engineering for some time now. In the past few months, however, I have been introduced to the world of Botany through a biologist friend of mine. I'm curious as to if it would be beneficial to possibly dual major in biology with a focus on botany along with my engineering degree. I've completed most of my core classes, so I'll have plenty of time. What sort of jobs does one enable themselves for with a path like this?
