I am 22 years old, and I am about to begin studying Environmental Engineering at Dalhousie University.

I have some previous academic work; I have graduated from an Electronics Engineering program from a local college, and I have also graduated with honours from another college in a different city where I studied Industrial Automation. However, I only took these programs because I was "guided" in the "right" direction by my dad; I have never had, nor probably ever will have a passion for electronics.

With that being said, I am much more interested in Chemistry and the environment; therefore, after I get my bachelors in environmental engineering, what sort of career can I expect?

Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
