    Structural Engineer ? Software Developer - who else has this career path???

    Responses much appreciated. I was introduced to programming at age 7 and have always loved it. I've always used it as a tool to improve efficiencies, never for a dedicated profession. It turns out the 3 guys I interviewed with are all self-taught (as I am) so I should fit in quite well...

    CA PE Structural - surveying and seismic later

    I'm taking the PE exam in Pomona on 10/26. I dominated school (MS in 5 years from scratch at age 32 with a 3.8 GPA). I'm probably overconfident. I can't take the Minnesota PE exam until 2020 (I live in MN). Unacceptable, so I'm flying to CA next month. I just need to pass the PE right now. I'd...
