I still don't know... Perhaps another engineering.

Sorry for the lateness, but thanks for your advice! It was very useful for me! But I have decided that, although I'd love to build dams and similar structures, I don't think H.E. is the right profession for me, because of how demanding it is. But Thanks, really!

Hi. I think i'm going to study hydraulic engineering. I'd like to study that career because, among other things, I like dams a lot. But when I talked to an engineer that had worked on some dams in my country (I live in the Dominican Republic, and would like to study abroad), he told me that engineers working in dams, for large companies (e.g. Ferrovial, Odebrecht, Andrade-Gutierrez...) have the disadvantage of having very demanding jobs. He meant that they are demanded to work lots of time, to live on the project's place, to move to another countries to work, and that most of them do not have enough free time, or social life, and that they live separated from their families... So these are the questions I want you to answer me: Does working on projects such as dams, involve the conditions mentioned above? Do you think those conditions are still frequent today (the last time the Engineer I talked to worked on a dam was ten years ago)? Do you think that those conditions would have changed in the future (e.g. for the time I get graduated, maybe on 5 years)? Do you think that there will be demand for dam construction fot the rime i graduate? Thanks for your attention!
