01bansheefox Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 I am looking into that career and wondering where you went to school for it? I found alot of online colleges but its for your masters or bachelors so you already need a previous degree to even get into the school. Quote
Screamin_Demon Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Try any branches of the military... they have civil engineer fields and basically pay to train you, instead of you paying to be trained. Only down fall is basic training for 8 weeks, but what's 8 weeks of getting paid to get yelled at. Something to think about. Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 If you go into the military dont you then go on call? So they can ship your ass out of here? And i have my toys and life already right here i dont want to pack up and move and $$ is not an issue my college is already paid for. Quote
Screamin_Demon Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 not fields are deployable... i'm not. most are though, and unfortionately, CE deploys alot. Not sure about any other branch, but the Air Force deploys for 90 days at max for most fields, except if there's extreme circumstances, then they can extend up to 180 days. If college is already paid for, then do that, but if not, i'd rather have the extra money... on top of getting paid to learn. Just me though. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Are you looking to relocate or just schools in your area? My nephew was about a year from getting his degree when his girlfriend went and got herself knocked up. I think he was getting his degree from Weber State University. Utah State has a decent program too. I have a brother in law getting his mechanical engineering degree there. I'm sure University of Utah has a good program as well. They seem to have the best of everything in the state there. Kinda makes me wish I would have gone. Not really. Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 I was looking for Online schools, so i dont have to relocate and can still work. Most of these online schools are just to get your masters in civil engineering so you already need to have your bachelors I cant find a school where you start from scratch. Quote

My wife got her BA from Univeristy of Phoenix. You can take their courses on line I do believe but not 100% on that. It also costs more than a University. Around 7 bills for the class and about 2 bills per class on books. Her BA cost us around $40K, which isn't bad. Her masters is only going to take a year and cost us under $10K. Quote

And they do not offer Civil Engineering. When you click receive more info etc... it asks you to enter the date you got your Bachelors degree. I have found one school http://www.edstudentservices.com/EnrollOnl...nfo_1bALL.jhtml But it says you get your AST? I cant figure out what AST is really. I dont want to spend all this time and $ on school and get some homemade certificate from them that means jack to other colleges to get my bachelors you know? Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 Ok AST is Associate in Specialized Technology, so I guess the question is once i do this can i use my AST certificate to get into another college to get my bachelors in civil engineering. Quote
fiveOnick Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Kansas State University=great engineering school. Especially for the price. I am half way through Mech E now. Quote
01bansheefox Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 But is it online>? I am looking for online classes only. Quote
racer Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 MIT? OSU is also pretty good for engineering. f**k OU. Quote
