Civil engineers are the stepchildren of engineering. The amount of disrespect they get is sometimes mindboggling. Some of the people on the forums we used as sources even went as far as stating that civil engineering isn’t engineering at all. All that for people who design roads, bridges, and dams without which civilization as we know it wouldn’t exist. Civil engineers are the most numerous group in the engineering field, and civil engineering jobs are expected to surpass 300,000 by 2014. Compared with the relative easiness of getting the degree, it is easy to see why civil engineering is on the top spot among 10 easiest engineering degrees to get a job.
