Career Options - Civil (discuss.online)

Hi all,

What are directions I could go as a civil/geotechnical engineer where there would be less focus on work being quantified through billable hours?

I've got interest in code and data visualization. I love getting outside. I'm about 5 years into my career with a master's degree.

Any thoughts/opinions/experiences to share?

I have a degree in Bioengineering and personally didn't want to go into academia, but would you want to consider that route? There's tons of applications for coding/data viz in research. Otherwise, ArcGIS/GIS jobs may be the way to go if you like that kind of stuff. Especially city/unionized positions, there's less of an emphasis on the consumer, the project, and the labor hours worked; and more about just getting a project or job done.
