Any civil engineers here than can tell me about their work?
I'm considering studying civ. eng. because it seems like it has secure job prospects, however I have absolutely zero interest in buildings or building processes. I'm a nerdy person, but not completely autistic. I'm not smart enough for science (tried physics for a few semesters), pretty good at talking but I don't particularly enjoy talking to strangers and am generally anti-social. I'm mostly concerned about having to be outside a lot, so I'd like to know whether there's good possibilities for a regular desk job with this degree.

Also, any advice on other very safe things to study in Europe (Germany)?

If you have the smarts to do an engineering degree, pick one you like. Life will work its way to where you'll have to end up after that

I really don't have a passion for any engineering degree. I just want a job that's well paid and secure. I know it sounds kinda scummy and if I had a passion for something that could make money without risking to end up homeless I'd do that instead.

I got my license and degree in mech engineering but my current title is civil engineer. If you don't want to talk to people you're in the wrong career path. A stupid engineer that talks to, engages, and coordinates with people will fuck up a lot less than a smart engineer that keeps to himself. Unless you work for the government or something. Engineering for the most part is a social industry. As an engineer you will need knowledge of a broad amount of subjects and be able to call into the technical expertise of others often.

I figured going into thr government would probably best for me, but it's not like I can't talk to people or ask for their opinion. What would you say, roughly how many per cent of the jobs a civil engineer could take are desk jobs?

So mechanical it is

Engineering is applied physics.

>generally anti-social

So you're going in to a degree which you have no interest in and you don't want to socialise which is a huge requirement in an engineering work environment. Sounds good man go for it.
