im sorry this wasnt quite as witty or funny as tdoc210's posts, but i felt i had to get that off my chest...I apologize if anyone was bored by reading this, unless you cant pronounce library right.....then i dont care.

Anyway, I think a postgrad qualification goes a long with civil engineering. But a BE graduate will have no trouble landing a good job IMO.
