I also enjoy reading. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was an advocate of and major impetus behind social justice and change in this country and elsewhere. I am inspired by his leadership abilities, including his ability to motivate people to work toward a common goal. I admire and respect his accomplishments. As in most engineering fields, personal interest and a good solid background in math and science are prerequisites to success.
Career opportunities are fairly stable.
There is a recognized and long-term need for environmental experts. Creative individuals with innovative ideas on cost-effective and efficient technologies for solving environmental problems will be in great demand. My long-term goal is to be in a position where I can affect the development of policy, laws, and regulations designed to protect, enhance, and restore the environment.
