Do people don't like living in a safe structure or have choosen to die because structural engineering jobs don't even exists now for freshers.
I will be graduating as a civil engineer in this summer and want to start as a structural engineer in industrial, high rise and offshore structures. I have devoted my whole bachelor's period into structures.
Most companies in campus wants students to work as site engineer with 25k max salary. Even MNC are taking 1 student out of 2-3 colleges with 30k salary.
Since turkey earthquake a huge discussion has began about having safe structures but when I approached few society to help them in designing retrofits for their structural members they wanted me to do it for Max 15k including all of the site supervison and recreating all of their plans because they have lost their structural plans. (Currently working as a intern in a retrofitting company which pays 15% for the work which interns find like a salesperson.)
Did I do mistake on taking civil engineering especially from a tier 2 college in Mumbai? How do people expect structural engineers to be paid less when they literally swear to get jailed and get stripped of their licences when a building even sway a bit?
People don't like living in safe structures. Builders just want to meet minimum safety requirements.
Retrofitting is carried out on structures that want to increase their life or get new amenities built in them. Builder builds a structure for a specific purpose to provide a specific service with or without amenities. To modify a structure one must modify its structural elements or else the structure can collapse.
core branch jobs are nearly dead Ãn India as a fresher . If u are interested in coding switch otherwise prepare for gate and psus
Best of luck
