[QUOTE="xjkrawler, post: 675625, member: 104"] Im also a civil engineer. finished my degree about 5 years ago and got a job with a small local firm that has civil design and surveying right out of college. I started out surveying doing, construction staking, boundary/topographic surveys etc. after about 2 years of that I moved into the office and started on civil design. I am now managing projects local to Huntsville that range from a 500 lot subdivision design, small retail stores, large multi use commercial projects and city projects. I enjoy the job because it is pretty rewarding going to eat at a restaurant or use a shopping center that you designed on a computer or staked out in the field. These are just some of the stuff you can see and experience with the degree. Everyday is different than the next and like mentioned before the pay is rewarding by the projects you design that you get to see and use everyday are also pretty awesome. Keep in mind you have to pass an engineering license exam (PE Exam) for your degree to really mean something... My end goal would be to either own my own civil firm or go into civil management for a large contractor. I will agree that the gen ed engineering degree classes were mind numbing but as you get into the reinforced concrete design, traffic engineering, water quality, soil mechanics and properties construction materials the degree starts to make more sense. I would also recommend learning AutoCAD. My office uses AutoCAD Civil3D Post up if you have any more questions. Looks like we have a few different varietys of civils on here. [/QUOTE]
