Environmental scientist. Not on the spectrum enough to be an engineerYou a geotech eng or environmental?
Isn't salary great!Well, I should update.
After more than 20 years on the job including a lot of production time and then as a technician, earlier this year I was surprisingly promoted to Engineer/Scientist.
It just means they can make me work more hours without paying me OT.

We've been living with this pain for quite a while now. Only a slowdown in new building construction will result in more civils, MEPs, etc. in the candidate pool.Civil Engineers are hard to find. I have some poor dude interviewing ONLINE next week. he lives in India. hahah.. probably be in his pajamas for the interview. slim pickings.
pay raises in the industry to make it overall more sexy of a career wouldn't suck.We've been living with this pain for quite a while now. Only a slowdown in new building construction will result in more civils, MEPs, etc. in the candidate pool.
It's $75-$80k starting salary with just a Bachelors degree, at least in this area.pay raises in the industry to make it overall more sexy of a career wouldn't suck.
Partly due to the Therac-25 incident, the field of software verification got going, to deliver quality assurance via formal methods.the ”big machines” used for RT
Do it. But choose supervisor and project carefully. Mine has opened many doors around the world. Currently using it to live and work in Germany.Considering a PhD.
It seems like that would make things easier for just about everyone. Lawyers would have an easier time searching for related legal cases because there are bigger discrete building blocks to search for. It might also be easier to build tools to translate documents into layman's English (or for that matter, into other languages, too) for law students and regular folks.Partly due to the Therac-25 incident, the field of software verification got going, to deliver quality assurance via formal methods.
Since 2020, my team and I have been trying to apply those CS ideas to the legal domain, first by developing a language for writing contracts and regulations that computers can read (the old-fashioned way, with a compiler, not ChatGPT), then conducting automated legal quality assurance on what’s been encoded into our formalization.
Currently hunched over a computer in a moldy university lab in basement 2 next to the car park, thinking hard about logics and semantics.
Legal writing – “programming in English” is rife with lexical and referential ambiguities, so we’re starting there as the low-hanging fruit. Programming in something else must be better, but what does that something else look like? That’s the big question.
This is what direction I've been given by a few professors. I appreciate it.Do it. But choose supervisor and project carefully. Mine has opened many doors around the world. Currently using it to live and work in Germany.
I would be tempted to do it in the UK. You will graduate in 3 years vs 5-6 in the US.This is what direction I've been given by a few professors. I appreciate it.
Oh, and I was stationed in Germany for three years and lived in Bitburg. Famous for its beer.
I've been to the UK tons. My best friends while in Germany was ironically British. Well, Welsh. I don't have global plans if I do it, my mind will never turn off and I see myself never retiring. I'm already retired military and make decent money, but only 46. In short, maybe a professor if I do it. I have 5 degrees and 2 masters. I need help.I would be tempted to do it in the UK.

I think moat medium to large cities have their own big brewery and a few smaller ones. In Hannover its Herrenhausen beer
Funny enough I'm half Welsh. Doing a PhD was a doddle compared to learning German. But it's something I have to do. Doesn't help I was never particularly good at learning languages. But it keeps the brain active and engaged...... never stop learningI've been to the UK tons. My best friends while in Germany was ironically British. Well, Welsh.
