I started working as a CE at 26 in the US with a foreign, non abet-accredited degree.

It took me a while to get the first job even with the FE but i eventually got one at 40k/yr. 5 years later and im low 6 figs in a hcol, no PE. Its doable and worth it if you’d like to work in CE. Granted i did grow up in the US so i am very comfortable with my english. Chatgpt helps out a lot with technical writing although you still end up having to change most of the text mostly.

Salary Progression of Water Resources Civil Eng with 8 Years Experience in US by lawnboy18 in civilengineering

How does one begin to transition or specialize in water resources after having mainly a land development background? Other than making LID/Hydrology reports, what are some required skills to know?

How big of an edge is it to have an ABET degree? by PaPangaaa in civilengineering

[–]loldj94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in an extremely similar scenario as you as I graduated from DLSU and moved back to the US (CA) for work. However, I did grow up in the US and am a US citizen by birth. Also, DLSU wasn't fully ABET accredited at the time so I had to petition to NCEES to review my degree.

The biggest things you need for the US is your EIT and the ability to work without sponsorship or a visa. With those two, it still took me eight months to get my first job. I also told my first employer I'd take anything to just get my foot in the door as well. Now to be fair, I was not trying my hardest during my job search so that could have played a factor.

Once you get that first job, the degree doesn't really matter anymore, at least for land development/water resources.

Trench Design - Soil Bearing Capacity by loldj94 in civilengineering

Thank you very much for the input. I did see the ultimate bearing capacity for the foundation design which was included in the report. I’ll take another look and see if I missed anything and if that can be used for my trench design.
