What are they?

And would it be better just to major in civil engineering, but specialize in this in grad school?

(I'm considering this for my second major.)

The BLS is a great resource for anything relating to jobs.

Median annual earnings of environmental engineers were $61,410 in 2002.

That's only slightly less than the average engineer; not to mention if you work in certain areas, you make far more than that:
