Is civil engineering a tough major? What do civil engineers do in reality? Do they need to be under scorching sun that often? I'm about to choose this major but I'm not sure whether I can survive throughout the whole course. I'm a moderate student who happens to be lucky enough to get straight A's in the recent A-level exam. And I'm a female, so I quite care about beauty, hence the sun can be an interference, but once in a while staying under the hot sun can be forgiven, just not too often. I happen to be interested in studying civil engineering because I like building structures, and I plan to major in structural civil engineering. I don't want to regret my life. So any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
