I don't see myself enjoying engineering though. Maybe it's just what little knowledge I have on engineering that causes me to not want to go that route, but even with buddy's in engineering now they aren't too fond of it. These are kids who have never had any physical labor in their life, and have stayed buried in books most of their years.
All of my deadlines are coming up for colleges and scholarships so yea I'm kind of stressing on it all.

Hunting and fishing play no role in my decision either. Can't say I've touched a fishing rod in Lord knows how long. Work keeps me away from doing that. Hunting is only a couple months out of the year and we live in Louisiana. I can find a place to hunt wherever I go.
There is a long list of different career paths that you could take with the engr degree. All the way from getting your Professional Engineer License and design all types of stuff(structures, industrial plants, waterways, piping, etc) or just work as a process supervisor at a plant and be all the Ptechs lead or even be a safety man. I gurantee you wouldnt be the first safety man with an engineering degree. Get the degree, don't doubt it man.

Go to McNeese and talk to the dept head, I'm sure they have a pamphlet about what you can do with the degree.
