Passing the PE After Getting into Civil Engineering by Accident With Jared Foulk

From dreaming of the Air Force to finding his calling in civil engineering and becoming a PE, today’s guest is a testament to the twists life throws at us…and some of them can be a blessing! 👇

In this episode, we have Jared Foulk on the show. He’s a civil engineer in Washington who recently passed the Water Resources PE Exam, and is here to spill the beans on everything he learned on this journey.

He talks about the ups and downs of prepping for (and passing) the PE exam himself, what he did to prep, and how passing it can boost your career almost instantly — just like it did for him.

He also dives into why civil engineering is a fantastic field right now, especially with the current demand for PEs and the lack of workforce to fill in those shoes the companies are hiring for.

If you're gearing up for the PE to boost your career and want to hear the hard-learned lessons from someone who’s walked the walk and crossed the finish line, this episode is packed with golden nuggets of wisdom you’ll love.
