I'm currently a math teacher (strong logical/technical mind, deeply detail-oriented and socially forward), but I'm making a strong transition into civil engineering (I've been toying with the idea, but I keep coming back to it so I'm committing). I'm 30 years old, woman, living in NYC. I'm still waiting to get admitted into the program of my choice (find out July 15th), but

does anyone have any advice on what I should be self teaching, how to get internships, how to reach out to shadow professionals. Will the industry be open to a 30 year old willing to learn? What is your take on the situation and how to get into the industry?
