      Lol nope. A lot of what I do is using computer programs to model soil conditions (dirt) so it’s more about understanding what soil is out there and how it acts when we build things on it/with it. The most I use is algebra

        Has there been an increase of jobs for civil engineers in recent years do you think? If so, what are the main drivers of such increases, IYO?

    Saudia Arabia is planning this Line City

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Line,_Saudi_Arabia

    As a civil engineer, i have a few questions for you.

    Is this interesting as a project?

    What if anything would excite you about it?

    What are obvious challenges, and what do you suspect might be much harder than any lay person would think of planning/building this?
