There is a reason for that point.
Engineering is a demanding and difficult education and career.
However, the rewards far outweigh the constant challenge that engineering provides. Civil Engineering is one of the most widely recognized and oldest forms of engineering is the words. In fact, the first time that someone realized that building a roof we did not get wet, the fist civil engineer was born. Some of the oldest monuments to human achievement still stand today because of civil engineering. The same can be said for modern day construction projects that will become the monuments of tomorrow.
