Comment from : @JakeVoorhees

I'm surprised about Transportation being S tier Here in the UK most people i have spoken to don't enjoy it As a Geotechnical Engineer i completely agree with it being B tier unfortunately, was going to make the switch to Structural, will have a drop in pay for a year or two but better doing something you enjoy
Comment from : @hellothere8812

You briefly touched on the difference between construction engineering and construction management but can u explain it a little more please?
Comment from : @christophernavia6954

Are you by any chance related to the infamous Jason Voorhees? 😉
Comment from : @feynstein1004

Work for yourself as a consultant Work with architectural companies providing their site engineering and structural engineering Assist city/county engineering Bid on city/county engineering projects Provide contractors that have civil issues on their projects The possibilities are endless Work a few years with a good consultant that has a variety of projects Don't do the same thing for 5 years Get a cross-section of broad design and field issues You must have an engineering license to practice on your own
Comment from : @ralphbroeils1760

I have worked in almost all of these areas and really consider myself as a general civil engineer I started out in land development Having general knowledge of all the various disciplines is such a huge advantage It allows you to see the bigger picture and bring the right disciplines together to get the job donebrbrSo many problems are solved by just having someone who can help the different disciples communicate well with each other

Utilities looks like the winner
Comment from : @jdavid50

Any civil engineer discipline that focuses more into the site, soil, grading, construction of natural places, land development? Thanks!
Comment from : @angelvasquez5066

what about project/ construction management?
Comment from : @vascoambrosio7798

Bro, I dont know whether they pay as shown in the video Most other youtubers say the entry level is 80/90 grand
Comment from : @dawn_alex

Very good video, but are these values based on individuals having their PE in their respected fields? I say this because it’s not realistic to expect this kind of a salary coming out of college Also the biggest jump in salary you can expect is when you actually obtain your PE Which not everyone does end up becoming licensed This is one draw back of civil engineering compared to the other engineering disciplines We are one of the only fields that NEED licensure Also you didn’t touch on geospatial engineering which is also a sub discipline of civil This is one of the hottest markets to be in The average age of a licensed Surveyor is in the 60’s Not to mention you can practically charge whatever price you want because there’s not a lot of competition
Comment from : @christopherross2582

it's honorable to work to get an engineering degree but nowadays you could get a nursing degree at lot more easily and earn higher pay, work in any city you want, and the nursing profession publicizes you as being a 'hero' Take the easy route get a nursing degree
Comment from : @stevesanders4427

As a civil engineer who knows people in each subdiscipline, I really dont see the point in ranking them or saying one is better than the other Its all a personal preference right? I know geotech and "general" civil engineers who love their jobs 🤷‍♂️brbrGreat video tho 😊
Comment from : @discotrain173

Essentially, the more you are responsible for the well-being and safety of others the more you are paid Wish you would have included hours For example utilities go out at inconvenient times, sometimes taking several days to resolve problems These are typically catestrophic events and bandaids to resolving problems temporarily have to be addressed to more permanent solutions even after services are restored
Comment from : @joels310

As a geophysicist, I have never heard it mentioned as a subset of civil or geotechnical engineering Almost no geotechnical engineers have ever taken a single class in geophysics
Comment from : @ryanenorth

i ❤ how the way uncle jake explained abt technical engineeringand after i graduate from high school i would like to take engineering major
Comment from : @Semogaberkah266

This is also a video of explaining what the different roles are in civil engineering, and so far the best explanations of what the different roles are Thank you so much
Comment from : @jusinocasino11

My wife is an Environmental engineer, but her undergrad degree is Chemical Engineering So there are other paths into the field She works for a soecialty chemical manufacturer, supervising all of their air and water emissions, designing and updating new filtration systems, deciding how to safely dispose of the nasty stuff they collect, and remediating the inevitable spills She occasionally gets called at 3 AM when someone does something horribly wrong and they urgently need to do something about, say, a massive cloud of nitric acid they dumped into the air next to a residential area Aside from the technical requirements for the job, the most important skill is iron-willed stubbornness Because the Environmental Engineer working in such companies is there to tell the COO that they need to spend $$$ on something that does not increase production efficiency or profit “This will result in millions of dollars in lawsuits and fines if you don’t do something about it” is her mantrabrbr…and our daughter is following in her footsteps going into her sophomore year as an Environmental Engineering student (Civil department, with a minor in Chemistry) Know any internships in the Northeast?

Will AI replace civil engineers?
Comment from : @shawnlow5709

Does agricultural engineering fall under any of these categories?
Comment from : @loserxxlover7754

Hi Jake, thank you for this video It was very helpful for me I am considering going back to school for civil engineering For the past 5 years I have worked as a construction project manager Do you think it’s worth it for me to make this switch?
Comment from : @joeventre9357

Site/Civil Engineering in northern/central new jersey now is nothing but designing sites for apartments, townhouses, and warehouses It gets boring after a while

Another is Offshore Structural Engineering, they pay well and sometimes have offshore aspect to the job
Comment from : @imtiazabdulgafur9144

Hello, what does Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems fall under? It's interdisciplinary and I feel like it's a combination of a lot of stuff together
Comment from : @Willwrz

is Civil Engineering still relevant & in demand for the next 5 years ???
Comment from : @MuzaffCraft

Hi my self pavan iam from india working as checker in steel detailing moldtek technologies from last 6 yearsiam planing to do master in construction management Can I know that is easy to get job after my ms
Comment from : @pavanreddy6874

Im studying to be a structural engineering technician as a major and construction management as a miner
Comment from : @RodrygoDeSilva

Construction engineering is S-tier salary and S-tier coolness in what you see day-to-day especially on mega projects, but it is F-tier in work life balance

The best way to optimize salaries is to have a digital transformation such as having knowledge of coding(python, scrum master) and cloud computing, getting into project management and having people skills
Comment from : @kineticswithkashan3192

A geotechnical specialist with iver 4 yrs experience I have MS in geotech and i strongly disagree with median base salaries not inlynfor geotech but Civil engineering in general The entry level base median salaries for fresh graduates for all civil disciplines are between 60-70k a year and they increase based on experience and certs such as PE etc even after getting PE your salary raise would be 10-15 percent max The salaries you reported it seems like they are region specific particularly in states of CA or MASS
Comment from : @kineticswithkashan3192

Construction engineer and construction management isn’t different as you can get same job with either degree
Comment from : @jaradd7279

Hi there Jake, I want to first say I find your videos very informative and very well put together I'm from Toronto, Canada to start off and I'm interested in Construction engineering and I had a couple questions, I applied to a couple engineering courses and I got accepted for this September the course is 6 semesters so 3 years its in collage the course is an advanced diploma with an optional CO-OP which I would take So what I wanted to ask was is an advanced diploma enough for me to get jobs and look appealing to an employer Also what does S tier mean, thanks again for all the hard work I will be sure to thumbs up and subscribe
Comment from : @justi598

I'm interested in structural engineering, but hesitant because of all the downsides I've heard about it, such as poor work-life balance, intense deadlines, and the pressure
Comment from : @Lucid874

as an undergrad like me,which engineering field would you think is better for landing jobs/good salary,should I get into civil or mechanical?
Comment from : @mahir7290

A more recent addition to the umbrella of civil engineering is Coastal Engineering It applies principles of environmental, geotechnical, and even some structural elements Also a great field for new engineers to dip their toes into!
Comment from : @brandonabbott9701

Anybody have a list of them?
Comment from : @Lucid874

Dear Jake thank you for this video, I am Civil Engineer graduate, I was wondering about which career path I should take and this video helped me and so I am thinking that I will take in transportation engineering because I see it's a direct connection for development of a society or a country so can u give me some suggestions and which college would be better for my master degree?

Comment from : @FrankBatistaElJibaro

Hey love the video! Currently a sophomore studying BS Civil Engineering in the Philippines On our next academic year, we are required to pick our desired specialization to study However, I’m currently stuck between construction and structural engineering Work/life balance is important to me and I am not so good in math, any advice?
Comment from : @johntristanpadlan2786

So, now I'm in my third year of Civil engineering After watching your video I know that if I had to choose what to become I'd go with either Construction or Transportation engineering My question tho, what courses of the 4 years of studying will I be using the most in my future career as a Construction or transportation engineer? brThanks
Comment from : @gymbros998

You have a Lord Ganesh Idol in the Background, that made my day! Thank You for this Content, Loved your videos!
Comment from : @harshiludani9260

Loved your video! I worked as an intern in a construction company and I must say that construction engineering is extremely stressful You must be available to work long hours and their length is dependent on the phase of the project you are in
Comment from : @cristinamucientes7700

What do you think of doing double major in Civil Engineer and Interior Design ?
Comment from : @wejdanalahmed2313

Structural engineering is really deep and interesting field to dig in Sadly, people in the real industry often don't pay too much intention to that
Comment from : @lumo9435

Thank you Jake for this helpful video I would like your advice, my country is small with high population and many hills so as a student in civil engineering which course is best for me to master in? Choosing from environmental, geotechnical or transportation engineering
Comment from : @ingabiresharon3063

I'm still deciding between structural or utilities Both of them seems good but idk if it will be easy to apply since i'm in the philippines
Comment from : @keiteumanoban6778

I think anything with 6 figures is considered absolutely S tier in today’s society, that’s just me though :)
Comment from : @CatStashh

Great video very intriguing
Comment from : @berthamabeti7111

I major in traffic engineering and I’m preparing for the application of my master programs If I’m lucky, I may have the opportunity to study in UCB But I’m also told that computer science is the most promising filed and can earn a lot after graduation So I’m thinking about whether I should jump into computer science or not Could anybody please give me some advice?

I wanna be a construction engineer, I’m thinking of majoring in civil engineering and minor in construction management Does that sound like a somewhat good track?
Comment from : @patrickcruice9633

great video this was so helpful
Comment from : @flash12319

Hi, until recently I've been preparing for Architecture school but after reading more about contemporary infrastructure projects, I'm also thinking about civil engineering as an option I'm pretty much between torn between the two, because I'm equally interested in working on high speed rail networks and the creation of eco-cities Also, it is the design aspect of these projects that are the most intriguing for me I imagine it is much easier to work in architecture with a civil engineering degree than vice versa When applying for civil engineering, will I have to know which direction I want to specialise in, or will I have time to decide it during the course?

Comment from : @livemert662

Im currently a freshman at Rutgers in the school of engineering I’m still deciding between majors and I narrowed it down between Mechanical and Civil, slightly leaning towards Civil Transportation seems to be something which can be very interesting a laid back for me How is the work-life balance of a Civil engineer in transportation and what are the downsides to the career?
Comment from : @mitchellnelson3479

Hey love the video! Currently a sophomore studying Civil at Penn State I’m currently stuck between construction and structural engineering Work/life balance is important to me and the long hours in construction seems intimidating, any advice?
Comment from : @justinbanks1744

does a General engineer for example municipality can also be somewhat of a construction engineer if you work as a project manager for the CIP projects? Would this be a good assesment? Great video As en Electrical engineer that switched to Civil engineer this is great
