| Real quick... Lots of possibilities outside of just steel and concrete with an MS in structures, which only takes a year. I'd choose either aerospace or civil structures as a concentration and then seriously consider investing 1 or 2 years in a pretty good masters degree, either in structures or an MBA... From there, you can go into submarine/boat/airplane/rocket/building/bridge design with the structures MS, or (and this seems like more your cup of tea) with an MBA, you can go into management.
Your concentration in college doesn't define your future, either! Pick something that's interesting to you... But an ABET-accredited degree will allow you the option of civil structures later on, so picking something accredited will shut fewer doors, methinks.
Good luck! PM me if you want to talk about more of the things you can do with a background in structures... |
