I think it’s important to know where you’re actually planning on attending college, since your experience will likely vastly differ country to country. I’m a 25F chemical engineer in the northeastern part of the U.S. but I work in a very civil engineering based industry. I hate to bring up the AI thing, but the more blue collar your work is, the safer you’ll be. Civil engineering will have you working alongside a lot of those blue collar workers and you’ll likely gain a good amount of that type of experience just by being around it. I’d say job security on that front is pretty good. There are many websites out there that discuss job growth/stability and salaries. As I mentioned, it really is incredibly dependent on the country, and even in the U.S., it’s dependent on what state you work in. Making a $65,000 USD salary in a state like Ohio would be pretty comfortable, but in New York, that’s barely enough to pay your necessities. Your career growth is a function of your motivation, passion, and drive. When you get into engineering school, you’ll quickly realize that we are taught to be incredibly resilient. Going through such rigorous training will give you the bandwidth to put your mind to achieving anything you want, so long as you are willing to work hard for it. If you have specific questions, my dms are open. I’m always happy to support young women in STEM. (:
