structural engineering and architecture?
(OP)
I have one more question. Please help me with your professional opinions.
Does anybody think If people have structural engineering and architecture degree, they are helpful for job search?

On the other hand, structurally competent architects might not push the edge of both arts hard enough to force advances.
On the other, other hand, I'm not hiring either skill right now.

I'm guessing it's the kind of dual certification that would be advantageous in some circumstances and problematic in others.

How long would it take for a structural engineer/architect to graduate from college?

More proof that Architects do not like Engineers. They don't like cross-breeds either.

If you graduate from college, then work as an engineer for 4 years to get registered, would you want to start over in a different field and at a likely lower pay rate?
I think that one would be better off selecting the field that he or she is most pasionate about and striving to be the best that they can be in that field.

They went hand in hand so to speak.
I wonder if 'we' are doing something drastically wrong or different?

Nice point, I think that this could be due in part to the move from structural expression, to architectural bravo. I can count on a few hands the number of times the architect ruins a building by trying to hide the structural expression behind paint and shiny stuff.
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field
RE: structural engineering and architecture?
I like this terminology. Seems to be a nice way to describe it.
It is funny however, because I always thought that architecture was supposed to be structural expression.

If you want to be an architect, be one, or if you want to be a structural engineer be one. Obviously there is a great deal of overlap so having both degrees and licenses could be a great benefit.
But if you are going back to school to get an additional credential so that someone MUST hire you, i think that is a bad investment of time and energy.

A pure civil engineering degree leaves you at a disadvantage as it doesn't provide many of the tools that are unique to buildings or structures.
By the way, this year is my 50th since graduation and I have never regretted picking this major.

Yes this is something that annoys me too. The guys writing the advertising dont always understand the job or the potential for other jobs to have similar titles. You just have to read the description.
