As a person who wants to be a civil engineer one day this give me a foundation to work for. Thank You!

[NQH-bcbe]

90k on average for starting salaries sounds unreal. LA's starting salaries are about 75k for new grads. Don't think many other areas pay new grads any better.

[cjdavid]

If you're not cut out to do the math for Civil, I highly recommend Construction Management

[KittyLoverlifeee]

I’m thinking of studying for civil engineering but I’m not too great at math (I am willing to study though) and I wanna do something environmental to help protect the environment but I’m not sure I can get jobs with that. Any advice? Would be greatly appreciated

Wanting an engineer to not be "strong with math" is like asking a firefigther to not workout.

So you don’t actually build stuff, All my teenage life I have been thinking that civil engineers to the actual building as well like carrying the heavy material, and sitting in tractors 🚜 like vehicles and pulleys and actually do the building. So You just have to design and come up with solutions to problems. I thought I wasn’t good enough for civil engineer as I am not fit enough to build these massive structures.
