What is the typical salary for a structural engineer?

Question

interested in this field of work...thanks for the help

Answer 1

Depends on whether the work is in the public or private sector.

In private industry the going rates for inexperienced graduate BS engineers would be $45-60K depending on school & grades.

Add 10% if any summer or coop jobs were pertinent to the major.

In the public sector i.e. government I doubt you can count on much more than $40K for an entry level engineering position.

Answer 2

If you are good at this, especially for complex structures and have a wide following, you can make six figures doing this...
