I chose civil engineering because I wanted to work outdoors (at least partially) and travel. It took me to Europe for 8 years, dozens of countries and all 50 states. Never the slightest regret. Both sons did the same thing for similar reasons. My daughter is a biomedical engineer as is her husband. If one can handle calculus, engineering is a great major.
