    Environmental Consulting vs. Internal EHS

    How does environmental consulting compare to in-house environmental (or EHS) positions? I have witnessed lots of people going each way (from consulting to industry, or from industry into consulting), so I would think that the opportunities must be pretty balanced overall, since I do not discern...

    Going out on my own.

    Is this a good idea

    Go for it. You are young, not tied down, so this is the easiest time for you to do this. I'm working as an engineer about 40-45 hours per week, and going to law school in the evenings and weekends (9 credits at a time.) That means with studying, classes and work I am putting in 12-14 hours...

    Hello all, I graduated 3-4 years ago with an engg degree and have been working for an environmental engineering consulting company (salaried position). I passed the FE/EIT, and I am planning on getting my PE when it comes around. My employer has a 65-75% tuition reimbursement program for...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    The PE license system may have flaws, but you could look at it as proof of having the minimum skills required for a good engineer. You can still have PE's that are not great engineers. Just like everyone with a medical license is not necessarily a good doctor. Being good at a profession is...
