Let me tell you guys something.

I got my BS in Civil Engineering.

I passed the FE exam (first try).

I was the co-captain of the ASCE student chapter at my school.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

you will NOT be hired without 3-5 years experience. this is extremely frustrating. I hear all these things about "we need more civil engineers." well guess what? people won't hire you unless you already have experience. A major double standard imo.

thats not really possible. CE involves Calc 1,2,3 and Differential Equations. Calc based physics 1 and 2. This is in New Mexico, but the material covered is standard.

[Nile505]
