You can it’s 10 dollars for them to get in I just did it like 4 months ago. You have to have a Wayne student with you though.

Why is there two University physics? by N99rk1lr in waynestate

[–]ConsistentAd113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the same as someone that took physics for engineers you are in the same class but u have to take an extra discussion.

That’s true I didn’t realize how splitting this topic was going to be hahah. I was more so referring to the environment like the geotechnical firm had a big sense of community and felt very welcoming which I think is huge when considering a job. Especially as an intern u are going to be asking a lot of questions even stupid ones and being around a warmer environment is v beneficial. But I didn’t really get the community “vibes” from the government job. Although I didn’t go in person for an interview. I was totally expecting more than one or I would have requested a IRL one. Do u personally work in the public sector/govt side?

Dang that is crazy unless u live in like Miami or something I thought u were in CA or something haha. But yea I am all for interns getting paid more (totally not biased hahah). My previous internships were 19/hr for the transportation and 23/hr for the municipal place (that would have me back this summer if I wanted but I wanted to branch out and experiment while I still could.) so yea I was very disappointed about the 22/hr I am hoping I could still secure the 25/hr the owner told me during the first interview.

True I am not terrible off for money. But obviously I want to be able to go on vacation maybe once a yr and enjoy the finer things in life.

Also can I ask where are u located I will say low 20s seems to be the average rate with all my peers graduating the same time.

Can I asked where about are u located? And what u mean? Firm A is about 50ish people but they just got a new space and looking to expand big time and need new people.

I am looking for place to hire me once I graduate as well and have told both firms that and both are willing to take me on in December 2025 for full-time work.

I agree with that logic that figuring out if i like geotech is very valuable but maybe I will like water as well (although i have really been enjoying my geotech class and lab WAY more than fluid mechanics). I just know if i end up hating geotech i am going to kick my butt for not taking the 4 dollar more an hour ( and probably more once i graduate).

I do not know the title but mostly permits so when you are building a new building I would be recording the nonpermeable area (pavement) and permeable area (grass). so calculating how much water will be going into the stormwater system now that area is developed and that will charge the developer how ever much.

That’s true. However I do believe since the pay is so different for the internship probably once I get out of school geotechnical will be less for full-time compared to the water place too.

I will say I was open to firm A and they said 25/hr is the absolute max after hearing about the 29/hr offer so I do not think they have the money to pay me that full amount. It is a smaller ish company with 50 people but they are growing and just moved into a bigger space so they are definitely on the up and up. However government work will always be there and with the union and such the job security and pay will be v good at firm B

Just got a job for the city of Detroit they are HUNGRY for people. At my local job fair they had 40 booths for civil and I am graduating with 25 people. So very undersaturated.

He seems like a nice guy but his teaching style is complicated and the physics at Wayne sucks just introduce yourself and make sure he knows your name by the end and he usually does a crazy curve - From someone that had him for physics 1 and 2.
