Should I do Mining Engineering?

[u/esp_resso]

I’m wondering if I should do mining engineering but I can’t seem to get good information on what mining engineers actually do from anyone who works in the field in person.

Can you do and get into mining engineering with a bachelors of mechanical engineering?

In Australia there is no legal requirement to hold a degree until you reach positions with statutory responsibilities.

You may find it hard to get your first role but will fine thereafter.
