Hi, Sir I am 23 years old. I belong from lower middle class family. I have done Diploma in Civil Engineering then I did B.Tech in Civil. But I am not interested in Civil due to family pressure,. I did this. After B. Tech I joined a coaching centre where I have learnt coding and aptitude. But after coming AI, IT market has down. Also companies are not hiring freshers. So, I am afraid that if Computer background students are not getting job then how will I survive in long term. Because of that I am doing govt job preparation. I am now confused that which direction would be suitable for me in the long term?

Ans: Hi
After completing Civil Engg, why you start computer coding is unable to understand. Those who aim for a job, start the preparation from 1st year itself. But you are too late. With the preparation of Govt Job Examinations, it would be better for you to join any company or firm which employs civil engineers for their projects. Your earning and learning will go simultaneously.
Don't sit at home only for the preparation of Govt job.
Discard the idea of learning coding etc related to computers. Rather learn some readymade software use from a civil engineering point of view. Some of them are Auto-CAD, Prima-Vera, STADD-pro, 3D-Max and many more.

You can register your name with Govt PWD Dept to work as a contractor also,

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks

Ans: I fully empathize with your situation. Do focus on the positive of having completed BTech in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering is the foundational engineering discipline and lends itself to use of new tools and technologies through use of of software to build structures using design elements that use newer materials to build infrastructure, homes, industrial townships that further sustainability. Use your current Tech Asstt job to learn about Oceanography as an added skills. Look at acquiring project management skills and explore opportunities with optimism and passion.
