    Engineering head hunters

    Good advice. Before advertising to the world (linkedin, careerbuilder, monster, etc.) why not search out employment yourself? Call your State's DOT office and ask for a listing of civil firms that have DOT contracts in the field your interested in. Contact your County/Parish Public Works...

    New York State IDF Curves

    Anyone have a set of IDF curves for New York State, specifically in the region around Buffalo? NYS DOT tells me how to develop them (publication HEC 12) but for the life of me I can't find a set that has already been developed. Even ACOE was no help. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Career burnout

    Man, hit the nail on the head for me. I just look at what my boss does and what I've been doing for the last 8 years and I just don't think I can do it for another 30+ years, even if it means that I make less money. Money is NOT the route to happiness in life. I was just as happy when I first...
