<p>Do you mean “now” or 4 to 6 years from now? There’s a difference. From your PM to me, I think you need to decide first if you’re even interested in the field. You may want to start out in engineering and then decide which specialty you’ll pursue.</p>
<p>My 17-year-old is convinced he wants to be a chemical engineer, just because the job pays well. I told him that is NOT a good reason to go into a field.</p>
<p>I have an internship this summer. I also have a friend who landed an internship with Fluor, one that landed one with TxDOT and another with a regional structural firm. All of civil including me. All of my close friends who actively pursued an internship landed one. Not impossible.</p>
<p>Civil engineering jobs are not very hard to find, there are so many jobs everywhere.</p>
<p>Most people say CE jobs are hard to find because they limit the locations they are willing to work, however there are jobs everywhere if you’re willing to go where the jobs are.</p>
<p>I think nearly all of my CE friends landed jobs after they graduated with their BSE (others went on and are still in grad school). Most of them had to move and they also graduated from a top-10 university.</p>
