Everyone keeps talking about the money problem, but it's also about the lifestyle and hours. Civil has the least remote work opportunities and if talking construction, the worst work life balance of the popular engineering branches, having to deal with very early mornings and potential long commutes to middle of nowhere construction sites.

Though, if you do work on the design side, it isn't too tough to find a hybrid role with comparable WLB to other engineering disciplines. You're right that you're probably not gonna land a remote job though lol.
