Just thought I'd bring it up- anyone watch the "Extreme Engineering" episode on Discovery about the Cardinals Stadium? The contractor building the stadium is the company I work for. Wish I was on that project instead of building High Schools in NJ... Quite the amount of engineering going on there huh??!!!

 

I didn't see the show or anything, but how does it look? The red birds needed a new stadium

 

I did not get to see it, but it is cool to have a fellow Civil Engineer (or something of the nature) on here.

I am thinking about becoming a project engineer for heavy construction... a lot of long hours though.

 

Dan, project engineering has its ups and downs... I just got started a few months ago but I've seen all lot of the aspects already. There is constand &itching back and forth and everyone's always trying to get something for nothing- which is very stressful. The hours are long, I only work 50hr/week but I know others who are doing 60hr/week. Its nice to see something actually be constructed though, rather than sitting at a desk designing.
I opted out of a straight engineering degree in school just for this reason- I wanted to be a little more hands on. You can make a lot of good money though if you stick with either!
