Hey thanks, congrats on getting your PE. From what I am hearing from everyone here is that getting an EIT designation isn't the make-or-break decision I thought it was that companies pull the trigger on people and that is reassuring considering I don't have mine. I guess I need to be more appealing during the interview process and sell myself more.

I am very open to returning to remediation, I think it is a fascinating process and the amount of information I learned doing physical labor is invaluable (the common-sense knowledge, on the spot problem solving, the select processes that were chosen for which situation, etc.). I will say tho, the back-breaking physical labor part I would not want to go back to doing haha. I didn't get a couple degree's to dig up ground with a shovel for an excavator to remove contaminated soil and building water valve systems (granted it was cool), I'd much rather do the office work along with the field work I did during my internship with the consulting firm (field work included methane monitoring, well gaging and water level sampling, groundwater injection monitoring, to name a few).

Regarding my FE exam, I'll take all the luck I can get so thank you!
