I am not an engineer, but I use them when it suits me. (joke, kinda) It looks to me like the ME and EE disciplines are more glamorous, but I might prefer civil engineering. With CE, mother nature is your foe, and she's going to win.....it's just a matter of time. And you build big stuff. Wind shear is significant and you have to consider what's going to happen if it gets hit by a fully loaded semi. Plus, you get to stand back and see (probably also drive over) what you've built. One of my colleagues is the chief engineer on the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Now that's something your grandkids can show your great grandkids.

Plus, like Vash says, there's a lot of CE work out there, and MUCH more to come when voters figure out that roads are built with tax money, evne if you do wish they were free.
