OK, the job market at present is poor. Engineering is cyclical - there will always be good times and bad times. If CE is what you were meant to do, then stick with it, show your passion, and eventually you’ll get hired. The ‘airhead’ who considered switching majors from civil engineering to construction management might be very happy, eventually, in construction management, once he or she is hired.

The last few words should be changed to “if he or she is hired”. Overall, the odds are not in his/her favor. While the economy and overall job market has been slowly improving, the difficulty of finding a civil engineering or construction job have gone from “incredibly hard” to “practically impossible”. Let’s take a look at [AGC</a> Reports Construction Industry Loses 32,000 Jobs in January](<a href=“http://ecmweb.com/ezone/agc-reports-construction-job-loss-20110207/]AGC”>http://ecmweb.com/ezone/agc-reports-construction-job-loss-20110207/)</p>

<p>“the industry has lost 130,000 jobs over the past 12 months even as total private sector employment has increased by nearly 1.3 million”</p>
