I mean, while my understanding of the construction market is rudimentary at best - isn't it actually the case that construction often _does_ end up rushed, or compromised at design level, exactly because of that? It's not good, and when a bridge falls over the results are a bit more... dramatic and undeniable - but it's not really my impression that other branches of engineering are particularly immune from corner-cutting and deliberate under-estimation. Edit: though I'll say, just having someone "at random" say they expect better in their industry is an anecdotal evidence that it is at least a bit better. Also, you get to work outside. Truly, grass is greener on the other side of the road.
