I work at a civil engineering firm specializing in land development for private industry clients. Our civil design engineer positions are advertised at $35-$47/hr or $72,800-$97,700/year. We are in a more expensive market area (Seattle), so take that into account. I'd say if you passed the FE and have a few years of work experience, that should be more than enough to merit a better pay scale.
Where are you located?
I made $65k my first year as a civil designer (with EIT and B.S) in LA
