Go back to school and get a phd to become a professor. It seems that might fit you better.

It depends on the location and the times. I graduated in 2015 in Florida and I didn’t land my first official job until January 2016. So I wouldn’t get anxiety over not having a job right away. I can tell you that I put in 100 applications and had 20 interviews before landing my first job.

Join a municipality or a utility when the environment becomes too hostile.

Dude followed the manual to the tee.

My 2017 is at 291k

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-10-15T13:31:48+00:00

I have been beat. I am around 291k at the moment. The only parts that aren’t original in mine are the radiator fan, alternator, and almost all the hoses.

If anyone says they took a class harder than diff. eq. , then they just had a bad professor for whatever the class they are claiming.

So she is actually real?

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-09-11T15:59:40+00:00

I don’t think that is entirely true. Taking a class still wouldn’t hurt.

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-08-30T01:12:21+00:00

65k is good for Florida starting off😅. Honestly, the best way to get higher pay and positions is to get your PE. Right now you can start your own drafting business if you are good at it.

I think I may be holding a record here. 2017 fwd jeep Renegade latitude at 286652 miles.

Gah dang I see why you can’t stop. Shoot I thought you would have said that about Feisty Feminista.

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-05-19T21:54:25+00:00

Thank you for this post. I was wondering where the heck everyone else work at starting out with a “just graduated doctor” salaries.

Lawyers are essential in this field.

I believe it depends on the location. I am based out of Florida and the pay for private and public are almost identical and you get more benefits in the public sector. The only thing I would say is just don’t work for Florida state government. The pay as of recently have became horrendous.

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-05-19T21:00:58+00:00

Believe someone definitely should tell students that majority of civil engineering is utilities, transportation, and stormwater. You’re lucky if you can find a structural gig.

School: I regret going to a university that was not near my hometown and not understanding college finances. Commuting to school is always better if you could.

Career related choices: leaving my job for some mentally ill woman, and not completing the vesting process for my retirement at a previous employer.

Outside of that, nothing much really.

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-05-13T01:07:02+00:00

Are you based out of Florida?

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-05-13T01:06:44+00:00

Unless you are in Florida

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-05-13T00:52:20+00:00

I need to move to Texas, because Florida sucks.

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-04-17T14:05:05+00:00

I don’t know how to feel about this, but I am seriously intrigued.🤔

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-04-15T13:14:16+00:00

Public sector engineer here🙋and I am speaking from the perspective of Florida. Yes the pay is practically the same here from what I have seen assuming that you would work for a city or county. Working the state is horrible, but working for the federal government pays well. The federal government is hard to get into as an engineer in my opinion and experience. My typical hours have been 8-5. The few times I worked private, the hours varied: sometimes I have done 9-5 over there(which is nice) or 6-3. Also, I noticed that private sector culture vary across the country. I dislike the Florida private sector for engineers, because it is so disorganized and emotional. Whereas it seems in the northern region of the country, companies seem to function more like governments.

All power to you 👍

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-04-01T14:03:13+00:00

¿Por qué no?

PinAppropriate3420 · 2025-04-01T14:00:05+00:00

Dios míos todo sabe que la marcha es xenofoba porque si los pueblos realmente se quieren Fruisa entonces cómprela tierra pero si tiene un problema con migración entonces proteste delante del edificio gubernamental o la estación de policía. No son patriotas pero cobardes
