<p>I am deciding between Civil Eng and Q.Surveying. Which field is the better field, in terms of prospects, pay, satisfaction and future growth of the industry?
I like both of them. What i don't like mostly about C.Engineering is that you have to stay in mostly at the field, there's a lot of Math and Science, and you have to be ready to get your hands dirty. I don't basically like the environment they work in as well. Correct me if i am wrong.
Q.Surveying is totally the opposite i heard. There's a lot of finance involved too, tendering and negotiation involved as well.
Which is the better option?
I'm planning on taking Q.surveying only if the construction industry has a better forecast, or sees growth in itself, because i don't want to be stranded in the end with a degree that can't be used for anything else.
Your thoughts? Is the construction industry doing good, and will it, in the foreseeable future?</p>
<p>
You’re wrong. </p>
<p>Civil engineering is a diverse field. Not all jobs require you to get your hands dirty. </p>
<p>What about the environment do you not like? Do you not like office environments? Or the possibility of having to go to a construction site?</p>
<p>I was painted this picture where Civil Engineers MOSTLY spend their time on site, apart from consulting/design engineers/structural. I do not mind stepping out once or twice, and i LOVE office environments. I just don;t like the on site environment.
My only option if i have to study civil engineering is to study just civil engineering, there is no specialization in structural or whatsoever, which would mean i will most probably get an On-Site job? what would be my options otherwise?</p>
