Trenedy Brown-Player Added Friday, June 9, 2023 at 8:44 AM What jobs could I do to help get me into the civil engineering field? I'm 21 years old and currently working as a part-time cashier. I have struggled to get back into school due to financial issues and owning tuition for college. I have tried everything and nothing has worked out and I really want to pursue this career. Answers 2 Alicia Bailey, Sain Associates Answered Tuesday, July 18, 2023 at 11:03 AM A couple of thoughts on this. In the public sector (state agencies, utility companies, municipalities), there would be plenty of options for non-civil engineering related jobs. Anything you could learn about how public agencies work and function will ...
Mary, Manila, Philippines asked Alicia Bailey, Sain Associates Added Friday, January 20, 2017 at 1:43 AM I want to follow my heart's calling... Good day, Engr. Alicia. I have already graduated with a degree that is far related from civil engineering. I followed my parents' decision for me at that time. But now that I'm making my own money, I want to follow my heart's calling. I have always wanted to be a civil engineer. My mum is an engineer, as well and she didn't think I would survive engineering classes because I am not that good at maths and physics. But when I look at the buildings, bridges, tunnels, and contemplate how those are ... Answers 1 Alicia Bailey, Sain Associates Answered Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 11:55 AM Thank you for your question. First off, your age should not matter in terms of going back to college. There were several people in my engineering classes who had either done the military or a different career prior to engineering school so there were ...
Emily , Cary Added Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 7:19 PM Should I wait to go graduate school for policy or engineering? I'm currently a Senior at NC State University studying Civil Engineering, almost done! I've considered going to graduate school. I've also really always enjoyed writing, and wanted to mesh together my interests and wanted to get a degree in public policy and engineering. I'm afraid if I get a graduate degree in public policy I can never use my engineering degree. Should I wait to go graduate school for policy, or I could go for engineering? I'm a little stuck, if anyone's had an experience ... Answers 1 Alicia Bailey, Sain Associates Answered Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 7:19 PM Congratulations on almost being done with your engineering degree!

Adrianna, Orlando Added Friday, August 7, 2015 at 1:09 AM is it too late for me? Hello, my question is a pretty straight forward question that I hope to get answered in the utmost straight forward fashion I suppose. I am 23 years old and I started college in 2014, and finish my prerequisites soon. I was in the military which is why it took me so long, and I happened to also get a tattoo on my forearm during that time which I am also concerned about. Anywho, I am very interested in engineering, and quite frankly seeing all the questions from such young smart/talented girls ... Answers 1 Alicia Bailey, Sain Associates Answered Friday, August 7, 2015 at 1:09 AM Adrianna, Please do not feel discouraged just because you are a few years older than what might be considered an average college student age. I attended engineering school with several, two of which I was close friends with that were in my ...
