The points in this video are strictly my opinions so remember that when making your decision.

Hey y'all, I know this is a little off topic but wanted to get this out for anyone who may be searching or interested in Civil Engineering as a career.
Be on the lookout for My Robinhood Portfolio video coming out soon! Working on it now!

What I really liked about civil engineering is that its never boring. I did civil grading plans, slope stability, stormwater floodplain hydrology, stormwater and sanitary piping, ditch flow, river and feeder hydrology/hydraulics, much more. Same with structural engineering. So much to explore with different materials, different loads, etc. Also design for industrial, power generation, commericial, educational, rail facilities, etc. I held a license in several states until my retirement in 2016. I loved my work, a rewarding and satisfying career.

Thank you very much. Your video boots up my motivation in civil engineering

[JoseHernandez-gily]

Thanks for this video! This was a great video. I liked how it was broken down and explained.

[gerithilech]

Thank you. My son is thinking of this as a possible major and how you presented this is exactly what he needs.

I'm a career counselor in a community college. I have to say that your video is well done and very comprehensive. Most career exploration resources focus on the positive and will simply state that a career in [insert occupation here] can be stressful. It's nice to get a balance of pros and cons.

[MattDouglas_INFININCREASE]

It’s awesome that’s you’re a CE and investor/trader. Hoping to be in your shoes soon! 👍🏾

[merdi_bakembo]

Thank you so much, this was really helpful.

[huntmine]

Thank you for this video! Current sophomore in Civil engineering at Iowa State and you're giving me the strength to push through.

[DarkCastleBoy]

That was a good info regarding the branch.

[clintysibbs]

Thanks for this video, I was in a really bad spot about career choice but am pretty confident now I can work with something

[ferasabughalioun]

I truly appreciate every single thing you said about this major cuz i actually got my bachelor degree in civil engineering and did a 3 months internship but after all got me thinking too much about the lifestyle of it....

[angel]

Really good video, really appreciate it because I’m wanting to go back to school and become an engineer and your insight was very helpful. So thanks and keep up the good work bro

[CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

This is so interesting. I did not know much about Civil Engineering.

[anthonychampagne]

Thank you man. I'm trying to figure out life

[nattietekletsion]

thank you 🙏🏾 future construction engineer here

[natturefrk]

I am much too old to start pursuing something like this, approaching the big 40, but was just curious because someone else was talking about it. I say that this was job well done. I think it gives enough info to get the basic idea of whether you want to do something like that or even want to pursue it. Also Im glad that I never went after computer I am not a problem solver. I tend to create them

8:48 i feel you with that one man, truth.

[whoareu-podcastaboutlifeat]

Currently getting a BBA, but engineering was always an interest for me. I love your input on specifically civil engineering JJ!

[tubemelly]

The most fun in civil engineering is bridge construction!!! All the action is being a field engineer!!!
