I am a 30-year-old mechanical engineering graduate with no prior work experience. I have been involved in farming, but due to financial constraints, I am no longer able to continue with it. I have applied for jobs in companies related to mechanical engineering, but unfortunately, most of these companies have rejected my applications. As a result, I am looking to acquire new skills that will enable me to secure a stable future. I am willing to invest around 2000 to 2500/month in my skill development. Please suggest me right path to achieve some milestone in next 3-5 months.

Ans: Given your background in mechanical engineering and your experience as a production engineer in the roto molding department, you have a solid foundation that can lead to various career opportunities in plastics manufacturing, injection molding, packaging, or consumer goods production, design engineering, quality assurance, maintenance, or project management. If you have a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, consider starting your own business in the manufacturing or engineering sectors. You could use your expertise to develop new products, improve existing processes, or provide consulting services to other businesses. Conduct market research to identify potential opportunities and create a business plan to outline your goals and strategies. Take advantage of online resources, workshops, and training programs to develop new skills and stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in mechanical engineering. This could include learning programming languages, gaining proficiency in software tools, or acquiring knowledge in emerging fields like additive manufacturing or sustainable engineering. Utilize your professional network, including colleagues, classmates, and industry contacts, to explore job opportunities and gather insights about different career paths. Attend industry events, job fairs, and networking seminars to expand your connections and learn about potential openings in your field.

Remember to assess your interests, strengths, and long-term career goals before making any decisions. Take the time to research and explore these different options as well. With your background in mechanical engineering and your experience in production engineering, you have valuable skills that can open doors to a wide range of exciting opportunities. Best of luck.

Ans: Am glad that your are now focused on Mechanical Engineering as this a foundational engineering discipline and lends itself to use of new tools and technologies through use of software in manufacturing. Look at acquiring project management skills and explore opportunities with optimism and passion.

Ans: Great question. Why 42. You will start earning from 2025 only. Just go for some certification course of DATA SCIENCE which will include AI cum Machine Learning. Since you are an engineer this course won't be a problem for you. Just before joining the course for 1-2 months see the YOU TUBE videos about coding. Never it is too late. It is good your self motivation is ignited yoir mind to do something. Just be in touch with me. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. Best of Luck. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...................:)

Ans: Can you elaborate on your education scores, names of college and city, your career goal for me to respond. It will be good to think aloud and have a career goal. It is your career and it is best that youmake the choice

Ans: The best way to acquire skill is to see NPTEL videos. Its free. If you want certificates then you have to give exam. Cost is very less. Normally professors from IITs teach these courses and you will get certificates from IITs.
