Civil engineering is a great career to get into because they literally build up the world, assisting in creating structures such as buildings and bridges while ensuring such structures are safe and capable of being used. Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. Civil engineers use their knowledge to overview and plan construction projects such as roads, airports, bridges, canals, tunnels, and wastewater systems. They also join with architects to design and construct different types of buildings. According to Freeman Dyson, “A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible” This is what makes engineers stand out from the rest. The median starting salary for a civil engineer in Ohio is $69,000 a year, or just a little over 40 dollars an hour. There are many colleges and technical institutes that offer civil engineering classes all over the United States. Youngstown State University is one of those that do offer the popular major. There are also plenty of jobs that apply to civil engineers such as, project manager/engineer, traffic project manager, highway project manager, structural engineer, and many more. Most engineering jobs require at least a four-year bachelor’s degree in whichever field of engineering you’re perusing. Besides the great pay and benefits that come along with being a civil engineer, there is a pretty extensive journey on becoming one. Most jobs related to engineering require at least a four-year bachelors degree. Some people may get discouraged of this, just because of all the schooling that comes with it. In college it is setup to be a four-year degree, although the majority of people finish in five. They do have associate degree programs and there are people who get jobs with those alone, but its not nearly common as a bachelor’s degree. Also with an associate’s degree, the sta
