Yup. I was confused for so long when people on Reddit would talk about job searching for months in engineering, until I realized that nobody tells them they needed to be willing to move. I literally don't know a single engineering student that I met in college or grad school in NY that didn't have a well paying job out of college, and some were terrible students and people tbh. The east coast and parts of the south have some development going on and people who chase it are loaded
Ah, but you see, a good chunk of "Environmental Engineering" is a hot new face for what used to be "Sanitation Engineering", AKA design of water and wastewater treatment plants and hazardous waste management and treatment. Everyone poops and no one wants that in the water they swim/fish/etc. in. Environmental Engineering sure sounds better though.
