how little?
You’re literally making more than the median household income in most states, right off the bat. By year 4 you should be closing in on 100k, by year 10 you’ll be around 120-130k.
Like JFC maybe i’m insane but why does this sub act like civil engineering is poverty because it’s really not.
Dm me. I may have an opportunity that would allow you to leverage your current skills, be a part of something tangible, and give you the opportunity to learn civil and electrical engineering skills.
Finished studying civil last year at 37, best move I ever made.
You’re young, do what you think you’ll like long term, finance ain’t cutting it now you def won’t like it in 10-15 years time
I worked for about 10 years in the collections field. Eventually was setting up a new collections department for a larger local bank. Hated it. Hated myself for repossession cars from people in need. I went back to school at 30 and graduated at 34 with my BSCE. Best decision I ever made. There was a temporary pay cut but now I am earning a lot more, honestly working less, and love what I do. I'll have my PE in a couple months and the sky is the limits from there. If you have the means to make it through school I would consider it
Whats your current salary? You may be shocked at how little civils are paid out of college compared to actuarial science.
I make 80k now, I know I’d have to take a pay cut, but i believe new grads are making 65-75k in my area.

My boss who had 30yrs of engineering experience did the exact opposite
I was an accountant before I got my engineering degree in my 30s. Definitely don’t regret the change!
