I currently graduated from a top 100 M.E of environmental engineering in the tristate area. MY Problem is that my undergraduate was not in engineering but rather a double major in biology(marine) and environmental science. Now, i see most engineering job with a requirement of a bachelor in engineering. my question is ..
1. Will I be able to get a good job with my background, or be only qualified for environmental "scientist" positions? Is there much difference between the two?
2. Is it worth me going backwards and getting a second degree in engineering for another 60 credits?
I am confused of what to do, because NY state EIT rules say that with my current BS and work under and engineer for 3 years then I can take the EIT exam.... but will I be able to get a job to qualify for this ?
I am now 30 yo and don't really want to sit with 20 years old in class!!
Please help any info
thanks alot
