I am a graduate of civil engineering, and now I am employed. I really want to engage in structural design. Is it really that difficult?

The introduction of structural design is simple, but it is not easy to do it well. There are many problems to consider, such as safety (you should grasp this); Economy (what developers are most concerned about) and practicality (what users consider) should be taken into account, and only flexible people can be called masters.

Steel structure design, of course, there will be a house inside. Steel structure and house are two concepts. Steel structures are also used in industry and civil use. And the houses are all civil engineering. Single-storey industrial buildings are not all steel (but also concrete). Workshop design is basically in the industrial field.

Steel structure design pays more attention to nodes and structures, and stability is very important. The design and construction of workshop are also closely related. Due to the variety of loads in the workshop, the loads should be considered comprehensively and leave room. In many places, steel workshops have collapsed.

Simple residential design, economy (what developers are most concerned about) and practicality (what users consider) are important considerations. Developers will leave you because of the high content of steel you make.

Theoretically, all belong to the category of structural design, and there is no difference in mechanics.
