Hi! I’m from San Antonio TX and I’m studying to be a civil engineer. If I’m wanting to be apart of a huge company is it best to start off at a smaller firm and work my way up or try to get into a big firm right off the bat so I have that connection? Thank you for your time!
@@giselleceleste141 Giselle are you at UTSA? If so, I would highly suggest checking out ASCE/SHPE/SWE to grow your network and get prepared for the job interview. In regards to the steps, I suggest you aim directly at the company you want to work for. I have coached and have friends that have had internships/co-ops with global companies while in school and have graduated with job offers. If you already know the companies you are thinking about, I would start building your network with working professionals that can advocate for you once you put your resume in front of them. Do you know what companies you would be interested in?
Is there any chance you could do a video on civil/structural engineer working for aerospace companies? I saw the video with Dr. Nehemiah, but he eventually worked on civil projects. It would help me a lot if I knew more about this career path. Great video as always!
Any thoughts on landscape architecture? Landscape architects often work with civil engineers and would be interested in knowing any insight you may have.
There are very few landscape architects employed in the USA. Only 24,000 with -2% growth each year so I’m not super optimistic about it to be honest. If you have the math skills and like design and infrastructure type of things, then I think you should do civil, 330,000 jobs in the USA. Thanks!!
Greetings , im someone who follows your youtube channel , and particulary your civil engineering videos . I would like to ask you a question if its allowed to ask and if not , i would completely understand. Im currently facing a dilema between choosing two diferent civil engineering universities , with different philosphies as from two diferent European countries . It is possible to ask you questions about this , im 25 y old , and at my age i should take a wise choise as 'there's no point of return ' in the sense that i've already made hell of mistakes on my early 20s and now i need to be efficient Thanks and have a grat day
What video should we make next? Thank you 1% Nation
Why are civil Engineers underpaid??
What personal skills or extra curricular activities do you suggest I develop for a successful career in engineering?

really enjoyed this feature! Thanks again. We finally did it! I'm so glad you could return after we tried so long ago lol
Great interview Jake and Fernando! Love hearing about the management side of Civil Engineering
I can't wait to feature your job search hustle
I am pursuing civil engineering from India and I am also interested in opportunities across the country. I will be looking for your guidance.
Thank you and good luck !!

Ya if I can find them. I think it’s more rare. I need to message Nehemiah about this. Thanks !!
@@JakeVoorhees Thank you!!

Hey pls answer my question if u see this. Can civil engineers design house plans for a living?
Hey thanks for the comment. Absolutely they can :) Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers thank you
@@JakeVoorhees awesome thanks for the response!!
@@JakeVoorhees another question is that if you go for civil engineer what do you have to do to do ONLY house plans and subdividing lots.
I essentially do the same in Miami, Fl. Fernando hit it right on the money with everything regarding a Site Civil Engineer. Great content Jake!
Definitely tried my best not to get too far into the weeds lol.
