Pencil Test

The best test I could recommend for anyone considering a career as a structural engineer is: Write a twenty-five page essay on the physical characteristics of your pencil. Include tables, drawings, and formulas.

If you enjoy describing every possible usage scenario and the resultant stresses on your pencil, then structural engineering is the job for you.
