Yall get paid less than 6 figs and we wonder why this country's infrastructure is failing... Hmm. Just read an article about how private homeowners are paying to rebuild failed govt dams on the Guadalupe River.. unbelievable

I came from engineering but left once I realized that the salary was disappointing compared to the rigor. My GF is a civil and this looks pretty similar to her trajectory. Stamping can quickly become a liability, just watch out.

With your PE, you'll probably be making around $130k-$150k by year ten. If you really like it, I'd recommend getting very good at a niche and then leaving to start your own firm. Either that or you begin to go the mgmt route.

Get your PE and leave to a consulting company for infrastructure, it pays better and I personally think it's much better in terms of work and culture
