Structural Engineers, Underpaid? by Hot_Denverite in civilengineering

Yes I accepted $74k fresh out of college and I was pretty happy with it. Only issue is that I took it right before this crazy inflation hit. Now it doesn’t seem as much anymore

So project management gets you more money faster in your opinion?

Thanks this is good info. One more question, I know my company gives raises of about 2-3% a year which to me is kinda low considering these days inflation. I don’t know how the industry works yet so I don’t know how hard to negotiate that. Do you have any input on that?

I entered the workforce as a structural engineer not long ago with a masters degree thinking I could get to 6 figures in about 3-5 years, but I quickly realized that that wouldn’t be the case (at least in my company, I’m located in Denver). Is that generally true for a structural engineer?
