    It depends on what one wants to do at work.
    Structural Engineering covers a large territory, not just buildings.
    Airport design, Chemical/Polymer manufacturing facility design (for support of plant and machinery), Bridges and elevated transport ways, Design for marine or other corrosive environment and so on.
    In the West 3D printing is assuming importance for some applications.
    In addition to a sound background in structural design it is important to acquire some skills with appropriate higher end CAD software.
