Ans: Experience and expertise never are a waste Aditya. Build up on your knowledge and the line to success will open up on its own. Lastly, don't worry too much about recession ...these are cyclic processes. Just follow your instinct and dreams.

Ans: To kickstart your IT career, begin by acquiring proficiency in programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, or Java. Direct your attention to web development since it has a wide range of prospects and a consistent level of demand. Pursue online certificates in full-stack web development, Programming and Framework, Cloud Computing, etc., alongside your MCA for engaging and interactive educational experiences. To bolster your abilities and reputation, pursuing certifications in web development, such as Full Stack Development, would be advantageous.

Ans: Hello Shweta, Good to learn about Civil Engineering teaching expereince. I am sure you had a good reason to be on a long sabbatical. As a Civil Engineering graduate it may be a lot easier for you to pick knowledge of software used in Civil Engineering professsion, espcially the ones that are currently being taught in the Civil Enggg courses. Within the vast field of Civil Engineering look for niche areas where you could excel far more easily than doing simple programming.
