My oldest daughter’s strong suit math. As a Civil Engineer myself, I’m hoping to steer her in that direction. It’s a very solid and high demand and good paying field that doesn’t look to be going away any time soon.
My youngest daughter is just turning 40. She was also very strong in math. After initially wanting to be a nurse like my wife, she got an accounting degree and has never had any difficulty finding a job. Although it is a bit of a mystery to me that for the last several years she has been working as a personnel director at a hospital. She never was much of a people person.
I’m also a PE in Civil Engineering and the jobs are plentiful and pay excellent in Washington State.
My concern is that young folks entering into the field are not getting good field civil engineering experience and they think that the computer generated answer is always A) correct, and B) the only solution.
Just my humble opinion, and that of just about all of my my recent staff and consultants that are around 60 years old.
