Scott Williams's FE Comeback Story After...

ISAAC OAKESON
About this episode

Have you found yourself working in engineering without an engineering degree…and getting passed over for jobs to someone who “is” just because of the diploma? 🤔 If yes, this interview with Scott Williams is for you. 👇


Scott is a past CEA Student with an Environmental background who came back from two failed attempts and losing a role he was perfect for because he didn’t have the degree…all the way to finally getting the FE done.


In this episode, he dives into this very journey and spills the beans on everything he learned the hard way that you can steal and make this happen for you as well — but without the hassle. 😅

Many people without a civil engineering background wonder if they can pass the Civil FE Exam. If they’re repeat takers, they wonder if they can make it. If they’re facing trouble in their career, they wonder if the FE will help.


Scott was in all three categories above. All at once. If you’re in at least any one of them, his journey and tips will answer it all for you. 👍


So, go give this episode a listen — especially if you’re tired of spinning your wheels and want to hear from someone who fought through the exact same stuff. ✅ 👷
