Re: switch degrees to Geology
I come from a structural-home design and civil drafting brackground and am loving be in geology. Given civil engineering is more about infrastructure then it is actual buildings as you claim you do not like buildings.
Regardless, I would make the switch. Geology has an application in just about everything. Civil engineers can not do their job with out geologists.
Just dont be that person that thinks they have the next 7 years of uni and life all mapped out like you suggested. Its ok to think you want to go in that direction but there are so many rad aspects to geology you should just get in it and start doing stuff
