I hope we never get to where civil engineering is now: a heavily regulated industry, need to 'join the club' just to practise; several degrees of separation between designer and builder" severely conservative professional body; inability to practise easily in foreign countries; tonnes of rules and regulations that vary from place to place; nothing gets built without people waiving clipboards and shouting. Oh, and 4 compulsory years of soil-mechanics lectures.
