B16A2, your post kind of bothers me. Probably because it struck a chord with me. I've kind of wondered if engineering is for me in the past, but I have no idea what else I would do. Do you really think the MS could end up hurting me? I don't want to do it but I figured it gives me the best...
Thanks for the responses everyone. To address a few of the questions, I have stopped back and talked to my employer while I was with the government. My boss made a comment along the lines of "Keep stopping back" which I take as a very good sign. That was before I left my new job quickly...
Kenat, I guess in my mind, without doing any research on professional etiquette, I'm thinking I could offer to sign a contract. Other than the economic slowdown, the company is very stable so I wouldn't be committing to a potential bad management situation in the future. That's what I mean about...
Could someone offer me some advice on how my resume will look to potential employers? I graduated college in 2009 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and took a job at a consultant who I had interned with one summer. I stayed at that job 21 months and then moved cross country for a job with a...
Well, I've decided to return to grad school full time to get my Master's in Hydraulic Engineering. I did my undergrad in Civil Engineering and I got an offer for full tuition and a stipend to do research. I graduated in 2009 and have worked for a consultant for a year and a half and a government...
Thanks for the responses jmw and macmet. Just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, I'm considering a grad school option I explained a couple posts up if somebody else stumbles upon this thread. Thanks!
Well, I'd like to follow up on this post. I've been offered a graduate research assistant position for my Master's study in an adjacent state to where I grew up, about 6 hours from home. My undergrad degree is in Civil Engineering and this would be a masters in Hydraulics. I get tuition paid...
One of the problems I'm having is that it's a rotational program where I move around every year, so about the time I get settled somewhere, I move again. That's really hard for building a social circle. And with the work not being what I expected, or maybe hoped, it seems pointless to me.
How...
I've recently (2 months ago) made a very rash career choice that I'm regretting. I left my job at a consultant close to home, where I had established friends and family and took a job in the public sector 1300 miles away. Deep down, I had a feeling the job wouldn't best use my skill set, but the...
francesca, I just wanted to follow up that I found a solution to this problem, at least for Civil 3D 2010. The following link worked for me:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13251791&linkID=9240697&CMP=OTC-RSSSUP01
It seems like it is a known bug in 2010.
Thanks for the response! I should have been a little more clear. I'm actually using Civil 3D, not the stand alone Map 3D, so I am trying to use map export in Civil 3D.
As far as your points:
-I've verified I was trying to create a polygon shapefile
-Topology is polyline based with correct...
I'm trying to export a polygon topology I've created. Currently, I have a bunch of polylines with points corresponding to the centroids of the polygons. The centroids contain the default data assigned by Map 3D when a topology is created.
I've tried exporting with mapexport and it always...
Hmm, I think I'm officially burned out. I feel done. I've had a constant headache the past two days, even on a Saturday morning when I should be able to sleep in and relax, I woke up at 3 AM thinking about work things. How do I approach management about this without seeming whiny?
I've been...
beej67, my boss is always willing to answer questions. The thing is, I need to make some decisions myself. He knows I'm struggling with how bad the job is going (in my opinion anyway) and doesn't seem terribly concerned. I would say he's concerned about my well being and how the project is...
hahor, what do you mean about people feeling ignored might teach me a lesson? You mean coworkers or contractors?
FACS and KENAT, I hear you about paralysis of analysis. I think that's a fairly common problem for some people, mainly perfectionists. I know I've suffered from it in the past, but I...
