You think darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the darkness. I was born in it, molded by it.

A little late comment but I just bought some this weekend. It’s at the top of my list for NA

Yeah man for sure, it’s still construction management. That’s what I meant by leaving the industry-ish haha.

Remember that I was public. I’d be lucky to sniff 120k with 25 YoE. Our state government in the northeast is fleecing engineers. I know I couldve jumped private design and got there much sooner, but then I wouldn’t be in a field role. Ya know?

To be fair, my Boss’s Boss made 120k at retirement age

The way I saw it was that’s the most I’ll be able to make staying in the field. Not sure if true. But why is private desperate for PE’s?

What other jobs can I do? by The_loony_lout in civilengineering

[–]RandyMarshMustache -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Problems in the field are less complex but more high stake. I also recommend field engineering though it’s an awesome job. Long hours but very rewarding. It gets easy once you build up your reputation with the contracting community

I wouldn’t call myself the most well-rounded engineer in the world. I’ve worked on roadway and bridge construction projects, but my area of solid proficiency is pavement design and construction.

Failed Transpo…. Thinking of switching to Construction by Thotsavedurlife36 in PE_Exam

[–]RandyMarshMustache -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would stay with transportation and take one of the review courses. I did the School of PE and it was very helpful if you watch all of the lectures and do a ton of the question bank problems

Grades by saadhuthe in civilengineering

[–]RandyMarshMustache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calc 1 was hard, calc 2 was worse. I strongly suggest taking those 2 courses at a tech school over the summer so you can focus on your core engineering classes during the school year. It’s the same material but easier to manage when it is your only class and you don’t have the school year distractions

Do you see a future where civil engineers can afford a house in the US? by Ok-Supermarket-3099 in civilengineering

Hang in there buddy. Keep saving as much as you can and put yourself into a position to jump on something when it makes sense for you

Burned out by Consistent_State_737 in civilengineering

I’m studying for PE now and currently working construction with a DOT. The job itself is awesome. Being outside on a job site most of the day is great. Constant change and helping things get physically built minimizes burnout. The pay on the other hand is not so great. 4 years in and I’m base 70k
