[QUOTE="montesa, post: 3626277, member: 477"] I spent 20 years at civil engineering firms. 12 with one company. I wouldn’t recommend it as a career. You can work your ass off and still only make about 60k (edit more like 80k) a year and easily be surpassed in income by someone with no degree that’s just better at producing. In the end, I don’t think it’s about the degree. It’s the person. I also have a friend that started his own civil engineering firm and that worked out very well for him. It takes skills that you don’t just all of the sudden acquire having gone to college. [/QUOTE]
