I recently just finished my degree and went through the job search process. I found that there was a fairly large number of openings with companies looking for people with a background in hydraulics and hydrology, but the majority were looking for someone with a background in municipal design or watershed modeling and several years of experience. The USACE occasionally also has openings for engineers with a background in hydraulics (they have two right now for hydraulic engineers as a matter of fact). Look into some of the companies that have previously been involved with projects that seem to be similar to what you'd be into and see if they're hiring (or just send them a resume and cover letter regardless; they don't always post on the job boards!).

With only a bachelor's the starting salaries I was finding was only between $46k to $49k, but with a Master's I was finding between $54k to $57k. The positions capped out at between $90k to $103k. I'm honestly not sure how these compare to other specializations...I wouldn't be surprised at all if structurals earned more!

It may not pay off immediately upon graduation without the work experience to go with it, but the positions that appeared to be the most interesting and challenging required an advanced degree. |
