Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is not too hard because you have different position, different branches. When you start going to school, to take 2 or 3 classes for each branch, and when you graduate, you can tell which one you enjoy the most, but basically with that degree, you can do so many things. Engineering is very practical, and it’s different every day. At the beginning, you will learn, but after that, it’s all about solving problems. Every day, you do something different, like different problems, different places. You use your education, experiences to be able to solve the problems which make it more fun if you’re the kind of person that like to solve problems. There are several positions, you can choose to sit in front of the computer the whole day or to solve different problems and involve with clients. Aj’s department is small, just him, his manager, drilling crew. What his department does is testing the soil and make sure it’s good before they start to build the building. They will do drilling process out in the field and bring samples to the lab to do lab tests. What he does is manage the drilling activities and the lab testing. When he got his bachelor degree, at the time he was studying for his master degree, he taught lab for 2 years. Civil Engineering has different branches such as structural, water, transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and general civil. Basically, Geotechnical Engineering is dealing with soil, rock, etc… For example, before building a house, they have to check to explore the soil and make sure that they don’t have any problems, make sure the soil is good to build the house on top, and if there’s any problem, they have to find a way to solve it. They usually have to work with structural engineers, civil engineers, sometimes they have to work with bankers, developers, the ones that buy the lands. They have to deal with different people every single day, some of them are engineers, some of them are not, so they have to understand who
