Structural engineering is still a branch that is not that popular among candidates but Still it is a branch lot of people took interest in. In recent years, it has gained some great interest from students. It is a branch with a lot of scope for the future.
A structural engineer must be creative, analytical and many more.
I think you should research more about the branch and then decide whether it's for you or not.
Hope this helps. Regards
