Use the phrase "pipe it up" as much as possible

Get out of New Orleans.
The engineering/designer hourly rate is at least 20% lower in New Orleans than in Baton Rouge and Houston.

Has the term designer come to include more than higher paid draftsman?

Get about 5 years experience then go contract. Bechtel in Houston and Virginia, CB&I in Charlotte and Kiewit in Lenexa,KS all pay top dollar. Everything i have looked at in BR has been about 30k less than what i make in charlotte.

Buy a Harley, get divorced a couple times, smoke like a chimney and dress like shite. Do all that and you'll fit right in with the rest of the pipers.

Anyone else think this was a thread about fricking those interior design chicks? Stone cold freaks son.

Fresh out of college in what? Design pipe...like run CAESAR models and tell them what thicknesses and supports/anchors locations they need?
I work in the field and I wasn't aware there were pipe designers. You just buy what you need COTS and get welders to make what you tell them.

Piping design is a very lucrative field, but it can definitely be feast or famine
