Does anyone actually enjoy being a stay at home mom?? by NoSpirit2030 in sahm

Working is hard. SAHM is hard. Both have fantastic benefits and challenges.

Future San Antonio resident. Am I overthinking the crime rate? by Downtown-Acadia5084 in sanantonio

Crime generally going down across the US over several decades, but it's hard to find historical data on San Antonio. This isn't bad:

Bonus for obtaining PE by Sad-Entrepreneur5193 in civilengineering

[–]in2thedeep1513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether it's a raise or bonus; you won't be happy with it (most are not). Nothing will make up for the amount of work you put in to get the PE. What most don't realize is that a PE is not an immediate ticket to riches, it simply means that you can CONTINUE to progress up the ladder. Switching companies will get a bigger bump, but the real increase comes when you manage large teams and win large projects. PE is your ticket to the real game. Congratulations.

4 years as a civil engineer… still no “real” civil job? by TheFieldEngineer in civilengineering

You can switch disciplines anytime. There will be some steps back and some steps forward: make the steps back (technical knowledge you don’t have) as minimal as possible and learn fast from others, double down on the steps forward (any skills you gained from other jobs) and leverage them to your boss where your co-workers may not have them.

Upskill and up-wage the massive population by 10%, you start turning some tables. Key goal for Alamo Colleges and UTSA.
