"I decided to trust my gut and go with a job that matched what I thought I wanted to do rather than the specific type of engineering."

"a big portion of my job that's sort of outside the engineering realm is maintaining a good personal relationship with, uh, those people."

"That's the number one thing when you get to a site, is make sure if they have roads closed or whatnot, make sure things are safe."

"People skills, being able to talk to somebody face to face about often a conflict between the two of you."

"What I enjoy most about being a construction specter is that I get to be outside working in the field pretty much every single day."

"working through difficult problems with difficult people is probably, for me personally, the hardest part."

"What I enjoy most about being in my industry is...to see how infrastructure, like a bridge gets built from the ground up."

"The people that thrive in this industry are people who can be really organized and stay on top of their daily things."

"I think that what I would've liked to know is probably how much paperwork there is, um, working with the government."

"Construction inspector is absolutely a viable first job path outta college."

"If you mess something up, you gotta tell somebody as soon as possible. Don't try and hide it, it's only gonna make it worse."

"Putting yourself in the best position to get an internship or any sort of job experience before you graduate is the number one thing I'd recommend."
