not the highest but I would think that Chemical is up there. Plus it is high in employment

especially smart as all streams of engineering (except biomedical, aerospace etcetc) have extremely high pay and job prospects

but to humour you
- mining (branch of civil)
- geotechnical
- civil in mining applications
- chemical
- all of them

Shit.
I wanted to do chemical or civil but couldn't pick so I picked biomedical instead. :(

Well, I went to ask about it and enquire and the guy was like "lol I'll just sign you up." and I was like "okay…" and the lines were long so I didn't feel like going back and changing to civil or chemical.
The civil lady was nice to me and that made me want to do civil. I have a simple mindset.

It seems pretty easy to change streams once you start your degree.

I hear petroleum is pretty highly paid.

But do what you want to do.
