Hunting Fishing Outdoor Gear

Geological vs. Mechanical Engineering?

Hello. I am currently finishing up my first semester as a junior in geological engineering. I have been thinking about changing to mechanical engineering. I chose geological engineering because I wanted to get into the energy industry either geothermal (because I am from Nevada) or oil. I feel like I was doing that for the money and power. I realized that I don’t really care about the money anymore. Either way I will make good cash, right? I want to love my job. I enjoy the outdoors and I love to fly fish and hunt. I think having a job designing hunting and fishing gear for a outdoor company like Cabelas, Scheels, or Patagonia would be the ideal job. I also got into geological for the traveling and I believe ME’s travel just as much if they want to, right? If I do change I think I will be set back about one year or so. I have also considered grad school, would it be ok to graduate with a GE degree and then go to grad school for ME? I would love advice!

Petrochemical engineering is what you want for energy research and oil. You can be paid up to 200k a year on a bachelors. Houston has a lot of research firms out there that pay well too.
