anyone know a...

civil engineer? im after a bit of info about what the trades like and so i thought idd create one of these horribly obscure thread titles

Re: anyone know a...

I dont know one but this board has been like the Krypton Factor tonight like, questions all over the place

my brother... spent most of the 5 or so years since graduation overseeing the building of them electronic info signs across the motorways, at least i think that's what he's been doing, think he's done a school and a couple of other things.

good job security from the sounds of it, company car etc. reasonably paid, but not silly money.

did he do a degree? if so where, im thinking of doing one at newcastle uni

ive just finished a degree in civil engineering

P.S

Only do one if you have an A at A -Level maths. Dont think they let you in without one these days. Leeds do an alright degree in it.

Plenty jobs tho

my mate is working on the overhead metro line in Dubai. He's been all over the world with his firm and seems to make plenty of coin. Interesting work too if you like making stuff with big boys toys.
He had to do a lot of graft at uni though. You'd have to really want to do it.

I can't do owt without you copying can I?

As soon as i say I'm doing a degree in engineering you say you're doing one.

What about this canvas printing business plan you had Lee?

Not sure yet mate. I'm starting with a basic engineering and maths just to get into the work as I've not done much with my brain for years. Then I can pick and choose the modules I wanna include. I'll probably do structural and design as the main things but possibly production engineering so i can get a job at Nissan as an engineer, they're on like 45k a year. If I'm halfway through the degree they may still offer me the job but for less money.

What sort of engineering do you do? I'm sure ive asked before like but i cant remember? Are you studying at the moment?

This might be to fund his degree.

Beat me to it.

Unreal innit? I bet when he comes on later he'll say he's been wanting to do one for ages. Bit odd that he's never mentioned it until now like.

hahah, I wouldnt like to be woken by the driver pissed as a fart on that metro!

i was looking into degrees last year u tool, i wanted to go towards bridge engineering

I certainly wouldnt be driving or walking over and bridge's if i knew that youd had a hand in the construction!!
