chaoswithinthed, whereabouts are you from? I went to school in an urban area and most people associated civil engineering with skyscrapers and bridges (cool in my book, of course, haha). Roads were probably the last thing people thought of.



I’m in College Station. I know when I think of civil, I think of skyscrapers as well! Being a Structural Engineer that’s what I want to do. My explanation about roads and civil not being fancy isn’t my view, but it’s just what I’ve heard from other people. I hear it all the time from my friends about how my major is easier. Some of it I think it joking and some of it is serious. I just shrug it off and don’t worry about it. I was in the exact same classes as these people in lower level and did better than them in them too.
