Manleen, Sacramento AddedTuesday, August 5, 2014 at 3:39 PM Is there a lot of travel involved in structural engineering? Hi I am a college student interested in making a switch to civil engineering. I would like to specialize in structural engineering. My question is, is there a lot of travel in this job?

Depends on which category you want to be in. I work with Naval Structure engineer and they do travel a lot. A lot of my classmate I had graduate with they don't travel as much. Depends on what you want to do.
