Civil Engineering is an extremely broad area of engineering, and it generally relates to the planning design and manufacturing of fixed products for the greater world. This could be anything from building a satellite to developing drainage in a town.

That’s why it’s such a broad term, and because of this the salaries of a civil engineer can vary significantly. It’s important to be good at adapting to various projects if you’re a civil engineer, and there is a great deal of time spent viewing sites, undertaking research and preparing construction plans for the good of society.

It’s called civil engineering because it’s for civilians and the greater world in general, and remember there are specialist areas of civil engineering and no two jobs will be the same in this extremely broad industry.
