Below are pros and cons based on my limited interaction with friends working in various fields. Please share ur opinion. I had another thread asking for best IT field to shift to instead of Civil Engg. But wanted to start a new thread on pros/cons

IT PROS:

• Work from home on Fridays (Never for other fields)
• Work from home mostly (Never for other fields)
• Easy to get a job if laidoff (Other fields really difficult)
• Opportunities in India or other countries (Other Eng fields have limited opportunities outside US)
• Higher pay 

CONS

• Stressfull depending on the client and expectations

 

Nee bonda..... I am a civil engineer. Zero competition. I moved to Canada, got my PR and citizenship and came back. Found a job in every place I wanted to move in less than 3 weeks. I make 160k gross, 120k base. 8 years experience.

@kukka_bathuku Lol. I talked quite a few civil engineers and they said nobody pays 160k for 8 years experience.

Almost everybody gets a PE in few years of experience. PE is just basic certification needed

Not every civil engineer is a structural engineer. Civil includes transportation, geotechnical, water resources environmental. Maybe structural gets paid better but most other civil jobs pay very less.
