High paying jobs in the alternative energy industry?
I can see alternative energy sources as being the future for United States energy consumption as gas and oil prices fluctuate drastically. I am currently 18 and am going to join the military so I can have a lot of my college paid for. Currently I have 10,000 stashed away in gold investments and mutual funds that i was going to put towards my 401k. Anyways I was wondering which alternative energy has the most money in it (six figures)? What jobs in the alternative energy industry can I go into with only a bachelors degree in college that will give me six figure potential? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I live near Sweetwater, Texas and wind energy is really big around here. I don’t know how much money is in it though.

As far as college goes, mechanical or electrical engineering will probably help the most in terms of jobs in non-traditional energy. Traditional oil and gas is more geology-focused.
Any kind of four-year engineering degree will get you six figures after enough experience.
There are some wind farms going up in the middle of Texas, I forget where. It’s one of T. Boone Pickens’ projects.
Keep your money in gold and mutual funds or index funds; don’t get crazy with it.
