I am 33 year old, single mother. Gratuated with a degree in B.Tech. Electronics & Communication back in 2012. Due to a number of mistakes/reasons I ended up working with a BPO immediately after graduating. Somehow, I managed to secure a job with a corporate giant in the Civil department as an engineer but as you can imagine, everything seems alien and at this age everybody expects me to be an expert, I have realised that I can't learn civil engineering no matter what and I am a complete misfit.
I wish to learn and gain some technical knowledge in either Electronics & Communication engineering or may be please suggest some course that would guarantee me a stable career and income. I don't want to go back to BPO.
Ans: I can completely understand your situation. You have worked hard to earn a BTech degree, worked in a demanding BPO indsutry job and suggest give it your best to try and get over the fear of Civil Engineering. gain confidence of your peers and superiors to learn the ropes. In the meantime brush up your knowledge pf ECE by undertaking several courses on Coursera, Swayam and similar portals so that when you have an opportunity to change to ECE related job you are ready to take a leap and excel.
