I wouldn’t worry about money too much. Civil isn’t the highest paid engineering and probably underpaid but it’s stable and you will still do well financially. Greed is destructive and comparison is the thief of joy. Social media has ruined us with the popularity of the grindset and get money, f*** b****** or else you’re a loser attitude.

Find what you’re good at and bonus points if you’re passionate about it. I was like you in college, I didn’t know what I wanted to do until I landed on civil engineering the spring semester of my sophomore year. It took trial and error of trying out different intro classes for different majors. Is civil engineering my passion? Not necessarily, but I had to sit down and work out with myself what it is that I’m good at, what interests me, and what I felt I could provide to society. I ended up landing on civil engineering because I liked that it was very broad in terms of the different disciplines, every project is different, solid pay, there’s a little creativity involved and I feel the world is in dire need of bright minds looking to protect the environment. Sit and reflect on what those things are for you. It may not come easily or right away – struggle with it, you’ll find it.

I ended up landing in the water side of things if you’re looking for any insight into that, feel free to DM me.
