My Dad has been a civil engineer for 30 something years, first with a local council, then the water board and has just retired (after working out it was far more profitable to do so and go into consultancy). If you'd like to chat with him I can put you in touch.

I'm an Electronics Engineer, currently doing Sound and Broadcast Engineering as I find it more interesting, and have been lucky enough to find a route in. And I love it. The best part of being an engineer is problem solving. Thinking of a way to sort something out is great.

Absolutely the best of luck. A lot of it will be Maths based, if this isn't a good subject I'd look into doing a course as you will need it sooner or later.

The world needs more engineers. Sadly in Britain it does not garner the respect it does in other countries.
