Structural engineers: Should I specialize in bridges or buildings? 2

I'll be entering the workforce soon and from what I've heard, structural engineers either work with bridges or buildings, not both usually. I am more interested in buildings but it seems like bridges might be a better idea since they are more necessary than some new building and therefore recession-proof (though not if everyone begins specializing in them I suppose). Thoughts on this?

Regardless what you choose to do, don’t burn your bridges... 📐
