>>1961497>If you work for a municipality or government agency you'll mainly be doing capital project management, inspections, and a lot of paper work, but there is an opportunity to get involved in some really cool projects.I want to get involved at that level, albeit in the states.
What motivated me is that my hometown got someone into the Streets Commission who has been going around and successfully getting sidewalks and drainage systems refurbished, along with some expansion due to a growing community, and man I can appreciate some of the difference after only a few years.
I'd like to be the person who can be a coordinator and enabler in that in a practical manner, even if not for here in particular. >5 years to be certified if I stick to the books and the cost doesn't financially ruin me sounds like something worth taking up. I was able to handle the kind of math/applied science courses meant for engineer majors, so I feel the biggest thing is having the money for the privilege of a proper education and training.
I appreciate the response! If any American engineers can pitch in I'd be interested as well.
