The reason I picked this job is because of a few things. One, my dad is a civil engineer and it would be easier for me to learn the occupation sense my dad does it. Two, when you're a civil engineer it helps you do everyday things like fix things you own. Three, the pay is stable and pretty good, anyone could live a good life off of 80,000 a year. Four, all the colleges I will apply to have degrees in civil engineering and have great programs. Lastly, It would give me a chance to travel and see the world, my dad is constantly traveling around the country.
