The technique is so-called because of its potential for reducing the average cost of shares bought. As the amount of shares that can be bought for a fixed amount of money varies inversely with their price, DCA effectively leads to more shares being purchased when their price is low and fewer when they are expensive.
A soil engineer, also known as a soils engineer or a geotechnical engineer, is a civil engineer who specializes in evaluating the characteristics of the ground upon which a structure is built. A soil engineer investigates and analyzes a site for such qualities as soil characteristics, composition, and drainage.
Geotechnical engineering is grouped by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) under civil engineering. The median annual pay listed for civil engineers in 2010 was $77,560 per year, or $37.29 per hour. The field is growing about as fast as average, and you can get started with a bachelorâs degree.
