  • Award for the most original title ever goes to... Seriously though, as I was a professional civil engineer for nearly a decade it is always interesting to play simulation game that simulate real construction and compare them to the real job!

    I work for a paving company in the States, and everything you did and described was pretty spot on. The way you did the paving was, almost, identical to how we do it here as well...there is no rhyme or reason to how they get it paved, they just wing it.
    I really enjoyed watching you play this, and it was very amusing to hear you get super excited for all of the different types of construction equipment.

    RCE, i've been going through a pretty rough time in my life. I'm in school for electrical engineering, and struggling pretty bad. I watch your videos almost religiously, and seriously appreciate the light-hearted 'hello fellow engineers' at the start of every video. you've inspired me to continue pushing, striving to become a true engineer without losing sight of the small things in life that define who I am. Thanks for all you do for this community, please keep it up!!

    • @iluomopeloso
      @iluomopeloso Před rokem +2

      You can do it, BL!
      If I can do it, then you can do it!
      (Old man story incoming...)
      I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I don't think of myself as very dedicated; however, I managed to finish an engineering degree while working full-time and raising five kids (we had another as a celebration after I graduated, lol). We certainly had a lot of support, especially from my in-laws (best parents I've ever had). It was tough, and I got down and felt like quitting a *lot*. There were days I felt like running my car into an overpass on my way home (spoiler alert: I didn't). I developed some dangerous ways to deal with the stress (self-harm is ... harmful), because I didn't think I had time to deal with things properly. I see now that I was wrong at the time. But one thing that kept me going was proving the doubters wrong. There were a couple of people who were rather skeptical when I announced my decision to get an engineering degree, and I just couldn't let them be right. Maybe not the healthiest motivation, but it worked for me!
      Just remember that your university probably has a medical staff that includes mental health professionals. They are usually pretty great people who want you to be able to function better and help you out of struggles. They're not going to do your electromagnetic fields homework for you, but don't underestimate the power of someone to talk to!
      Lean on people if you have them! If someone asks if there's anything they can do for you, then take them up on the offer! No one is "self-made", everyone needs support. Utilizing a support network doesn't make you weak, it makes you a normal person.
      Above all, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Don't worry about how long it's going to take. You'll get there eventually. But to get there, you have to do today's tasks first. So just focus on what's on your plate right now. I know it's a lot, but you eat the elephant one bite at a time.
      You can do it! I believe in you!

    I love how the game makes you rent three vehicles to do a bit of road, and also makes you dump a bunch of random gravel on a railroad track and acts like that's a job well done.

    Matt, each time you play a game I get terrified at the prospect of visiting the UK. Not because I don't like the UK, but because the idea that you might be out there, doing maintenance or construction is a view into my death.
