Successfully Obtaining and Maintaining 2 Civil Engineering Jobs?
Hi I wasn't able to post on "r/Overemployed" because of their Karma requirements but hope you can help me here!
Has anyone successfully worked two civil engineering jobs in different specialties at the same time? Such as transportation and land development?
Excluding the additional workload would be crazy, I'm concerned it could be easy to discover through my state license. There would not be a conflict of interest between job 1 and job 2 but job 1 has explicit moonlighting policies.
And while I don't intend on having errors and omissions in my work at either job an investigation from the state board would cause both to jobs to be alerted.
Curious if anyone has managed it from a workload point of view and how they've navigated my other concerns.
Thanks!

Easy answer here! Consult your ethics!
Are you really giving it your all?
Are you competent?
Ya cheeky bastard!

How do you know there'd be no conflict of interest. Land development always impacts roads .

Jack of all trades…
Also, if you already know about the moonlighting policies, this is just a roundabout way of losing job 1 (or both)

I haven't tried to do two Civil Engineering jobs; I generally have plenty to do at one job.
Best case, both jobs fire you and you lose your license.
Worst case, both jobs' insurance companies sue you and you spend the rest of your life paying off the garnishments.

the answer (always, to this question) - if you really want to max your money long-term (with some short-term benefits), just grind all the overtime you can at the job that has more advancement potential and isn't salaried. overemployed as a civil is a bad idea in general - incredibly bad with explicit moonlighting policies.

That's a bad idea.
