I see a lot of negativity towards civil engineering and structural engineering in general on this board. Some of it I believe is warranted. I haven’t seen a lot of success stories in job placement outside of school, so I thought I’d share mine! Just to show it is possible!

I’m a senior graduating from a top 10 public school. I’m going back to get my Masters in Structural and went for an internship this summer. I’ve received two job offers from analysis and design firms in offshore and am still in the running for another general civil firm (second interview was last week). I recently turned down a second on site interview from an oil and gas company since I’m current deciding between more design oriented jobs.

And I have a degree in Civil! It’s possible, do what you find interesting!
