What do you enjoy most about being a civil engineer?
What I enjoy most is that it's funny. I kind of grew up playing the SimCity games and stuff, you know. I was playing and building cities.
It's just kind of cool to see a video game that I used to play when I was younger, and now I'm literally doing it. I'm building cities and building communities.
To see all that come to life and see people in their homes and their kids walking around a neighborhood that you designed, and the trails that you designed through the neighborhoods, and to see people walking on them. It's just really cool.
