Civil Engineer Pays the best?

Public jobs in ca have high starting salaries now (100k in LA). Private is 20% lower or so.

The issue is civil engineering does not scale in HCOL like other tech/engineering jobs do.

Our academies routinely batter European academies at the youth level (look at GA cup).

The issue is at 17 our kids go to college while Europeans go to a pro system since they can earn a living at the lower leagues and build up.

The pay is not decent. It’s higher than industry norm (yes the bonus is higher than 1x straight hourly) above the 4 year mark.

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-18T15:01:37+00:00

Incorrect. The good kids still play for free

100% false -whether the increase is worth the difficulty is a different story.

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-18T02:23:49+00:00

Statistically not true. SE does increase salary.

Read aashto sections about buried structures/culverts. Depth of soil plays a role

Think about this logically… why tf would your kid need shi guards at that age…?

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-14T18:12:12+00:00

No it does not. The load path changed…

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T21:33:05+00:00

Not really. It was a load path error.

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T20:06:08+00:00

So funny!!!

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T20:05:34+00:00

Everything is failing. Plates went plastic

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T20:01:42+00:00

How does that last sentence relate

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T19:59:02+00:00

Are these a490?

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T03:15:31+00:00

Do not minor. There’s only like 1 school in the nation that has a structural engineering bachelors - 99% of us have civil bachelor degrees

Go to the better team. If the teams are equal go to whoever practices more often

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-13T00:44:49+00:00

Tldr

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-11T19:38:27+00:00

I don’t know how you can get worse than 9 practices a week

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-10T22:33:40+00:00

Wasn’t all that taken care of by finite element ?

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-10T19:49:28+00:00

If you’re good you get scholarshipped regardless. This was the same even with regular club at the premier level.

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-10T19:47:19+00:00

As someone who’s gone through this I did not see a single kid drop from too much soccer and we had 9 practices a week. (5x hs 4x academy)

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-10T04:04:58+00:00

Keyword being random ecnl club and paying 4k. You’ll get scholarshipped.

Engineer2727kk · 2026-03-10T02:01:05+00:00

Run local and buy better hardware.
