6. Will civil engineers be replaced by AI software in the near future?
7. Has anyone thought to themselves, “millions of others have or about to get engineering degrees with no issue, yet here I am struggling with Cal 2 (or any other class)”?
8. Do NOT major in Engineering Technology.
9. Should I take a lower title with higher pay?
