hey everyone, im a junior right now in HS and trying to find out what im gonna be doing for the rest of my life (not stressful or anything right?) ive taking multiple engineering courses and am pretty well off in it (drafting, cad, civil and aerospace next year) im thinking about going into a engineering major, however im not too sure what i want to do, so i was hopping that some of you could give me a few ideas. Weather its your career or your current major, i dont want to be stuck in a room the whole day id prefer a job thats much more laid back and fun, i know its asking for alot,
any help or advice would be much appreciated!
thanks!

TL;DR
what should i do with my life?

This. Nothing beats laughing my ass off at all my friends who jacked off for 4 years of college and now have no job, no prospects, and are scrambling to get into grad school.

I had my pick of making 100K right out of college or getting a full ride to grad school so that I can make 120K+ in 2 years.

Nothing in life is free. Sacrifice a little now for a lot later, or be like everybody else.

No like actual Geological Engineering, like mining and resources, in Canada at the Uni of Saskatchewan, in the top ten engineering programs in Canada. We get the iron rings when we graduate so you know it's legit. Don't say my field of study isn't TRUE engineering haha.
