First off, as a note, I went with mechanical engineering but have met a few (and a do mean few) people who chose to go with mining engineering. I will answer your second question first as I feel it is probably the most important factor. Most mining engineers pick that career based on having a special interest in such a branch of engineering or proximity to a reputable ABET certified university that offers that major. Mining engineers are in a similar position to petroleum engineers in regards that not many universities offer those programs of study. The vast majority of engineers are either electrical, mechanical, aerospace, computer, civil or some hybrid of the preceding. The reason that not many universities offer petroleum and mining engineering degrees is that there is a limited need for their application. Not to say that there is not a need for them of course. That said from what I have been told there is good money in both areas. To answer your first question daily duties for a mining engineer include but are not limited to geotechnical surveying to locate and predict the feasibility of extracting minerals and ore from the earth and the decision making process to determine which method of extraction is to be used. Mining engineers must be up to date with the latest technologies in blasting as well as mechanical extraction. Thus it is expected that they have a general knowledge of mechanics, kinematics and other applied sciences. Unfortunately this is as far as I can go since I am in the mechanical branch of engineering myself. I just thought I might provide you with a little bit of data in the occasion that you are not able to locate a mining engineer on this forum.
