    Civil Engineers have to know how to design and assemble shapes to construct buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, highway systems.

    In chapters 1-4 of The Philadelphia Negro, W.E.B. Du Bois provides historical context about African Americans in Philadelphia from the early 1600s to the mid 1800s. Before he shifts to the sociological study, he covers the trajectory of blacks in Philadelphia from the arrival of the first slaves to the growing free community as a result of the mass exodus of African Americans from the South. He concentrates on the socioeconomic status of numerous pecuniary classes as well as changes in the division of labor that created an even larger divide between them. What he also reveals with this disjunction are the intra-racial antagonisms and class aversions that contribute to the destruction of unity within the African American community. More specifically, blacks who were the considered ‘elite’ as a result of their white-collar jobs, formal education and monetary portfolio compared to those that were working class with little to no education that lived in the lower wards with a higher concentration of poverty.…

    Throughout history, there have been many examples of people who have succeeded in “creating their job” such as many of the great inventors like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, and many others. These people saw unmet needs in society and met them through their ingenuity and hard work. Other business people like Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and others took advantage of opportunities to grow and develop their businesses into huge corporations. In addition, the great political leaders of America utilized their situations to propel themselves forward in their careers. Complimented by their diligence and ability to fulfill needs, these people knew themselves and used their natural abilities to their advantage. In the same way, I have been blessed to go through a career counseling course that has assessed my natural abilities so I can choose a major that would be a good fit and that I would enjoy. As a result, I have found that construction science would be a great fit because I greatly enjoy working with my hands and seeing the fruit of my labor. At the same time, I think in more concrete terms as opposed to the abstract and theoretical. I have always been interested in construction through my time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. In addition, what…
