Ah, mining engineering is planning how to safely take out minerals. Rock mechanics is studying how the earth holds up, and drilling makes the holes—either from the surface (opencast) or tunnelling underground. Everyone says opencast is "better" because it's cheaper, but underground felt more… ningthou-like, like a quiet kingdom—I actually preferred it.
Compulsory mine visits and training are intense; you live on site for weeks, covered in dust, learning from the miners. But for me, those long, remote postings are why I left—my mother was alone, and my scooter battery wouldn’t have helped there! So I switched to IT from my hometown, delivering medicine instead of coal. Phijigee.
