I did B. Tech in Civil Engineering in 2012 and M. Tech in Earthquake Engineering from IIT Roorkee in 2015. Due to some personal problems, I qualified and joined Government Polytechnic college in Uttar Pradesh, which is considered equivalent to intermediate, as Lecturer. This work experience did not benefit me at all whenever I applied for any sort of job, be it in central government or any private sector. It has been 8 years since, I am trying to qualify other reputed Government Examinations but couldn't. I am married, age 33 and have a child. Could you kindly suggest now what should I do to change my career from this?
Ans: My suggestion is to be optimistic about future and keep looking for opportunities that will help you chart a new course in your career. Look for emerging areas where your knowledge gained in Masters of Earthquake Engineering can be used. Connect with large engineering and infrastructure companies and consulting firms and explore areas where you could add value.
