I'm a structural engineer with a background in design work. I have about 5 years experience and I'm going for PE this fall. Does anyone have any advice on how to get OUT of engineering? I despise design work. I think crunching numbers all day slowly kills your soul. However I feel like after of 5 years experience in design there is nothing else anyone will hire me for. How the heck do I get out of design and still get paid something that resembles a decent salary with my background? (FYI I've been told I don't have the mentality to do well in a high pressure project management type position). I know there are lots of people out there with engineering degrees that have gone on to do very well in fields other than engineering. I just don't know how to get started.
