How much does a civil engineer make with an associate's degree?

Answer 1

I hold a Associates degree in Civil EngineeringTechnology & basically they make the following: (It also greatly depends what field you are in)

Civil Engineer Technician: $36-48,000 per year, depending on area, location, cpabilities, duties, etc. normal pay is baout $18-24 per hr

Construction Estimator: $40-80,000 per year, depends on years background, age, duties, company etc., normal pay for an estimator is about $25 per hour then you can see up to $40 per hour

Project Manager: $50-100,000 per year, dends on same as above, this is what I do, normal pay is $25-50 dollars an hour, varies for what field you work in alot. For example;

- If you work in commercial roadway managing or paving crews you tend to make previaling State Wage or equilivent (roughly 50K per yr)

- If you work in commercial civil engineering for municipal, state, federal or DOT apprentices programs or under the wing or a P.E., you tend to make less, roughly 40K per yr

- If your self-employed and do any of the above, you can make millions per year if you run it right, hard in this day to get started but my advise to anyone holding this degree is to stick with construction, not civl engineering. A P.E. is the only one who really gets anyowhere with that degree and if you only have an associates, its not much in that field, but its alot in construction, enough to get your foot in the door at least and then the rest is up to you.....play your cards right and you could see 100K
