Civil EIT. One year left until I can take my PE exam and legally be able to call myself a Civil Engineer.

I do not use half of what I learned in college at my job. But then again, I learn something everyday at work. In college I got a very broad background, but my work is only focused in several areas. Right now, I work mainly on roadway jobs (i.e. geometrics, drainage design, etc.).

If you want to find out more about the profession you are getting into, I would suggest joining any of the college engineering societies or go to actual professional society meetings. I went to both and got a pretty good idea of what I would be doing.....not to mention, those meetings (especially professional level meetings) are great for networking and potential employers. Contact the president of the local professional chapter before you go to a meeting to let them know you are going to attend. Once you get there, introduce yourself to the person you contacted. Generally, they will introduce you to people or even make an announcement concerning your attendance at the beginning of the meeting. Great stuff and very beneficial.

I have a buddy that is a chemical engineer. I think he designs chemical plants or something similar. Interesting stuff.....BIG BUCKS $$$....ha ha.

Engineering is a great profession and very much in demand. Good luck.
