An update on my original question....

An update on my original question....

An update on my original question....

(OP)
In reference to my previous quandary of looking for associated professions closely related to Civil Structural Engineering with possibly a more academic bent ( thread731-292339: Related Fields to Structural ), I want to thank those that I did not reply to before thread closing.

Thanks!

I found another job that is a little more on the street and management (oddly enough) oriented and it is a tough learning experience.

It is giving me a bit more on the client relation side, as well as construction, inspection, and management. All things I needed to round out my career as it was.

Will this be what I stay with for the next XX years? I do not know. What I do know is that I am learning a lot of what the "other guy" did whenever I handed off my drawing set to the project architect....

Good bad or otherwise, it is always good to at least see for yourself the ins-and-outs of PM, Expediting and other related fields.


Thanks again!

Congrats!!

Remember - God gave you two ears and one mouth - use proportionally.

You will learn a lot.  I toss my new engineers into the field as often and as long as I can --- IT REALLY HELPS.
