Engineering How hard it is to become a lecturer in civil engineering?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a career as a lecturer in civil engineering while obtaining an MS degree in Structural Engineering is a challenging but achievable path. Many participants in the discussion emphasize the difficulty of balancing both responsibilities, particularly if one does not already hold an advanced degree in civil engineering. The consensus suggests that having prior experience or qualifications can ease the workload, but it still requires significant dedication and time management skills to succeed in both academia and studies simultaneously.
