mining engineering - as boring as it sounds?

Looking at the different types of engineering

I can't help but think that mining would be a horribly boring stream. It looks like it involves a lot of geology and the last time I studied geology, it involved looking at sediments.

So for anyone whose doing mining engineering or knows people that do, is it boring as what it sounds like it could be?

Re: mining engineering - as boring as it sounds?

sigh.

I'm doing law at the moment but I'm transferring to engineering next year. I'm doing flexible but I was just trying to figure out what the stream is like and what it involves. I'm not claiming to know alot about it, even though I've looked at the subjects of mining engineering, hence asking...

Re: mining engineering - as boring as it sounds?

Mining eng doesnt involve much geology when you work as one. Involves more planning and commercey stuff.

Mining engineers think they know geology but in reality they dont.

Geology is much more than just sediments, its actually quite interesting.

It doesn't.

Not if you are really interested in it. The first two years are normally Civil Engineering with the final two years specialising in mining subjects. If you are going to do it then chose an AusIMM accredited course, but don't do it if you really aren't very interested in it and are only after the money. The lifestyle requires huge sacrifice that many just can't handle.
