What is better Construction management/engineering or instrumentation engineering as a career?
I have worked many years in the engineering field and you have already touched on the two most lucrative specialties; chemical engineering and instrumentation engineering. I agree however that each of those are little be on the theorhetical side and you don’t really get to see stuff built. Mechanical engineering on the other hand can work in just about any sector. It’s like the business degree of the engineering world. You however want to know about Contruction Mgmt. Well, if you like the outdoors and enjoy travelling to the job site, wherever it may be, then this career path can be very rewarding. You can pretty much get an easy start without much experience. Mostly because not a lot of people want to be far from home. Experience will greatly enhance your earning potential but you will get that and then some just after your first major project. I would suggest hooking up with a large construction firm and learn from them before trying to take your skills to a smaller market. Good luck
