The good thing about going into civil engineering (as far as roads and bridges goes, anyway) is that you don't need to know any of the crap you learn in university, except maybe some important applied stuff like calculating load on a girder, or that water often flows downhill-ish. I'd say try to learn the applied stuff the best you can, and don't sweat the theoretical stuff. Hopefully you have engineering profs who actually worked for a living before going into teaching. Do you have co-ops? Bust your ass in the co-ops and learn as much as you can from employers. There's stuff worth sweating over and stuff where you don't need to do more than punch the time-card, and learning which is which is the first lesson of civil eng.
