Has anyone done the HND or Degree in civil engineering?
Discussion
Sorry about the late replies gents, been mega busy at work! I appreciate the replies, top work!
Without quoting every reply, i'll try answer them all in one go.
Im 21, so im still young. I currently work in the oil and gas industry in an oil and petrochemicals plant as senior surveyor.
I really do fancy the degree but theres only one thing that is off-putting for me... The fact that it is only one day a week (through my work). Although i am currently doing the HNC one day a week, which is fine, but i can only imagine the work-load from uni is alot more intense than college. I would love to be in a position to take a few years out and do it full time but the truth is, i cant afford to jack my current job in!!
The good thing about where i am the now is, im in the industry i want to be in!
There are two main areas that interest me in the oil and gas industry...
1) The civils side of it.
2) Piping design.
Im just not sure how i would get into piping design because i just dont know anyone i could speak to about it. Does anyone know where i could get more info on this?
All i know is that there are great prospects in this field of specialisms, and 'pipers' get paid more than civils!! The last statement came from an ex-colleague that has been a CAD jockey most of his days! Im not sure how accurate that statement is though!!
