Is civil engineering dead?

Construct AND repair. Once you build something, it does <em>not</em> last forever. If you don’t make necessary repairs, it will cause a domino effect that can further harm the economy and deteriorate civilization.</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, I’m in the construction industry and I’m doing fine. There were a lot of layoffs a few years ago, but it’s gotten better since (at least in my area). Recently, I’ve been seeing news of new hires in our company every few weeks.</p>

<p>With that being said, there are highs and lows and the economy can vary immensely from one part of the world to the other.</p>
