I hope this is the right area for this topic but I've looked around for a little while and I feel that this is the best spot for it.

Currently I am researching new career options for myself. I was wondering if anyone had a little insite on this. What school to look at, etc. My main area of interest is engineering, building some buildings, and things like that. I'm not by any means decided I am hoping to get feed back from you. Thanks for your time, you can contact me at Jasonp914@yahoo.com
