Question
Dear Dr. Abdulaziz Jarkas,
  Hi, my name is Alex Zagorski and I was considering a job as a civil engineer. My dad is one and I think his joba are cool. I was wondering what you recommend as the best engineering company to work for? Whare does your company work? Whare would you suggest the best place to get trained or what collage is best to become an engineer? Thank you for your time.

Answer
Dear Alex,

To give you an answer, I need to know where you live!

Threre are various good Universities offering Civil Engineering majors. If you live in North America, MIT, Univ. of California at Berkeley, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana, Cal. Tech, Stanford Univ., Univ. of Toronto, Macgill Univ., Univ. of Alberta, etc.

In the UK, you may consider Cambridge Univ., Reading Univ., Imperial College, Univ. of Dundee, etc.

As far as the companies, again, it depends on where you live. I think you would be in a better position to find out.

Hope this helps!

Dr. Jarkas
