What is the daily life of a Structural Engineer and is it a good field to get into? And why?
I am planning on achieving a bachelors degree in Structural Engineering. It sounds like it is a career that would interest me but I'd like to find a little more out about the job. #civil-engineering #bachelors-degree #civil

DAVID’s Answer
- is it a good field - yes, all aspects of a project design relies on a structural engineer...concrete, steel, wind loads, ....to balance the civil, electrical, environment, process and architectural aspects....a complete package to put out to bid
- find out more...do some research, talk to a structural engineer
- note...structural is a lot of computer answers, not glorious since no on sees your work...rebar in concrete for instance
- structural is very technical, high risk as noted by past structural failures, but someone has to do it
but you have to be career driven by personal satisfaction to be a real designer
think about it
