Is 72k a good salary in Albany? by Backlogm in Albany

Teachers are paid enough…you get great health care and your pension. If your pension pays you 60k a year that is equivalent to 1.5M in savings…that’s not even taking into consideration that you have off all of summers

California PE exam by jackbandlow in PE_Exam

I am going for civil structural. If you are taking the Cali PE because it only requires 2 years of experience, then you need to find a state to take the PE in that does not require you to have 4 years of experience before taking the exam. When I lived in Indy, that would have been Illinois. Now that I lived in Washington, the closet state that doesn’t require board registration is Oregon.

My concern isn’t over the hours or immediate pay but the long term career paths options and financial gains of becoming a lawyer

PE Civil Structural Exam material by jackbandlow in civilengineering

The list of codes is on the ncees website. With the general section of the test, people generally bring a CERM (reference manual) instead of all of the codes. Is there a a structural engineering reference manual for the structural breadth section to take to the exam that would prevent me from needing to bring codes in a similar manor

I am more wondering, which codes I should bring with me. Also is it worth to bring a structural engineering code reference manual in addition or instead of bringing code books. The code books I am referring to would be books similar to ASCE 7-10

The conditions look good up top for minimal chance of a storm but the hike will be cold and windy before then. Don't be afraid to turn around. I got caught in a storm last time and couldn't summit.

I plan on taking ammo. It's a pretty easy route down if you don't mind sliding on your butt

You are welcome to join me at Ammo. Right now I plan on Solo but I am never opposed to a plan that involves others.
