    Hi sir,
    finally I'm writing my thoughts down here. Your channel has really inspired me. I spent a whole day going through your videos when I was preparing interviews for a site engineer role abroad, I'm soooo excited about this role. Even though it is true, I didn't realise how much this industry is worldwide saturated more importantly, how this has an effect on the everyday life of Indian engineers I grew up in India and 7 years before completed my B.TECH(CIVIL- ENGINEERING) and now I am doing normal civil engineer job in india !! This is so embraced and I feel this is a headache I still can't move abroad
    I am trying it. I want to encourage Indian engineering students, especially those from the Indian community and with lack of English barrier and also it being their second language, to follow their dreams to become an engineer in Abroad.
    Only one chance to give me I will perform definitely

    Having half a million miles for CMV would help me to achieve the job that I am looking for.

At 28:32 they are at the same excavation, where he is training his field guy on how to fill out a report on the tablet. The question asked was "Workers protected from falling loads?" his reply was a mediocre "Well....yeah!". His probably fired now, it's been four years since.

    The safety curriculum is a joke! Its really an administrative career. That’s okay. It’s better to come to safety via an engineering major because I’ve seen little to no safety people who can understand the calculus based physics behind loads, statics and mechanics etc. The non-engineering safety people only know administrative aspects. Trust me, engineering with safety is like steroids to a athlete.
