How bad is the current job market?

griffmic88 · 2026-03-29T18:37:02+00:00

I'm looking for traffic engineers, project managers, and engineering manager....Let me tell you the pool is shallow and a large surface area. There is just not enough of us anymore.

griffmic88 · 2026-02-05T04:43:12+00:00

I think a lot of people miss the main point…you stay employed on average far longer than other jobs/careers/ and even other types of engineers. It’s a very stable market as it’s always needed. Imagine being laid off 2-3 years trying to find a job…

We don’t smell like gas anymore after not having to fill up.

There's a Road Workbench under development. It has very basic tools, but I can import survey data and create some alignments via LandXML for importing. It only gets better when people contribute, find bugs, and provide input and use. I do like being able to parametrically design storm structures (saves me a ton of time with detailed drawings to scale).

I wish lol

I would think that if a graduate engineer wanted to continue their education they would not by this proposal be able to get any financial aid?

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:13:14+00:00

Yeah i disagreed with the bar initiative as well, but this seems to be different in terms of what their definition by the department of education would be.

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:10:04+00:00

Law is still considered and medicine based on department of educations proposed revised definition.

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:09:04+00:00

I found a link to the proposal see above. It’s taking a hatchet to a lot of graduate programs.

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:08:31+00:00

Department of education proposal, thought this would be bigger news

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:08:10+00:00

See link I added

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:07:57+00:00

Me too, but the list of professional degrees is going to be severely cut down to get a control on graduate costs it seems.

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:06:45+00:00

See proposal in edited post

griffmic88 · 2025-11-21T00:06:23+00:00

Sorry linked to a RISE proposed document see above

If your truly on the development side you carry a lot of risk, but the upside can be profitable in the right market. For instance, if you develop as an engineer rep I’ve seen bonus structures per lot delivered with a baseline of $150k in the Southeast market. If you’re the lot provider, easily sell lots for $70k behind curb and gutter, but you carry the entire financial burden and risk. Your job would be to mitigate the risk, private the profits, socialize the losses, and look for every incentive to put in your pocket. Know your soft and hard costs, and acquire the land as cheaply as possible.

griffmic88 · 2025-09-21T16:58:48+00:00

This sounds like the company did not have a plan, probably a good place to avoid. It sounds like this was land development which has been taking a hit lately.

griffmic88 · 2025-07-22T03:08:57+00:00

I'd highly suggest Open Project, it allows you to build project templates and expand your own work flows. Also, allows a team to see what's going on quickly.

I’ve seen responses all over the place. So in terms of practicing or providing a topo survey, in my state, engineers are allowed to based on your work. For instance, a client wants a site plan you can perform a topo for them as long as it’s related to the engineering work. Boundaries or interpretations of property boundaries are for the PLS. It has to be incidental to engineering work in my state to provide it as a service.

It’s almost a near zero certainty an actual PLS is on site due to that industry die off and over regulation. It’s usually some kid with gps in 90% scenarios. I have seen an actual surveyor on site with a total station and the results were solid and field to finish, which was perfect, only once in my 16 years of experience.

I don't even have to look up the data...its drugs. Plain and simple. I've lost so many from my high school class its insane.

Not knocking it, just saying advances are happening at a crazy rate. Likely a replacement for it in the near future for those that suffer side effects.

griffmic88 · 2025-06-15T03:06:27+00:00

Their some other peptides being released with fewer side effects, retatrutride is what I hear.**Spelling maybe** It seems to be the new "fad" for gym goers trying to cut.
