I am a 2nd year civil engineer student in Canada, and I was planning to earn master degrees of architecture.
I had an internship in Asia (to be specific, Korea), and people here had a horrible view of Civil, structure engineering and architure for following reasons
Civil - dangerous job that works at on-site, lack of innovation, too many people, but not many expert. Designing is fun but not so great pay.
Structure- boring, limitation of promotion (highest position was team manager), the main job is to review blueprints and doing calculation.
Architects -Low employment rate. (I also heard that they receives lower payment than civil engineers)
People always ask me if these ppl are well respected in a North America society because general view of the jobs are not so respecful since they work with people from construction guys (like crane operators).
How do these jobs viewed in North America society ? ( Not as much respect as electrical or computer engineers ?)
