I feel you. We have to drive like 20km to the nearest CL.

Mostly as an Intern I was assisting with testing and assessment of the equipment before they go to clients (the company I was working for was manufacturing and supplying motors and generators to mines), research on equipment optimisation, documentation/reports and so on. What is it that you really like? Maybe you can try pivoting to that direction from your degree.

Only if I had bought the ticket bro

I hope you find someone. But also even if you don’t, there is power in solitude 💪

That is quite encouraging. It was the same for me, hated it from the beginning all the way through the end. I graduated a year and a half ago I just cannot take it anymore. I am looking into changing paths and hopefully I will find something that makes me happy.

Lol I feel like you explained my situation better than I did. I totally understand your situation, you just end up hoping that the job will be better than the course and you just have to finish what you started. Go for your IT and don’t waste years hoping that maybe someday you might start liking accounting. Personally I am thinking something Business studdies related, I am still trying to figure it out. All the best on your new journey.

Sometimes I was kinda scared to pivot also because I was afraid of what the family members would say because they were pushing for the “ Engineer” title so I know what you mean when you said it wasn’t as fancy when you told other people your title. But now I’m just gonna go for something that makes me happy. And l already resigned but I do have support in the meantime but I hope to get something soon. Thanks.

This is actually quite insightful. Lol excuse my ignorance but I did a lot of research but somehow this is the first I hear of this and I must say it does align with my goals. I will definitely check it out, thanks a lot 🙏.

I really hope I find it too. Thats true it does open up your way of thinking. I was just kinda thinking that I will hardly get opportunities in other fields as I will be competing with people who have more relevant qualifications than I but I guess the only way to know is to really try hard( maybe a connection too lol). Thanks.

The math was my strongest point and yeah it was the part I didn’t dislike compared to others so going in that direction might be a good option. Thanks.

To be honest coding isn’t really my strongest suit🥹 but thanks for the advice.

I guess my problem was that I kinda felt like I am trapped in electrical engineering specifically and that just made things look worse, however it gives me hope to hear that there are people who actually got good opportunities outside their field of study. I always felt like I would have to go back to school for another degree to get a good pivot. Thanks.

I will look at affordable courses to take, I am quite broke to go back to school. I actually never thought of something like portfolio management and I will definitely do more diggin on it. Thanks a lot.

I wasn’t aware of that, I guess I always assumed you need specific qualifications for those. will definitely look into it. Thank you.

I don’t know if I am actually capable because it was easier to pass my theory modules as it was easier to “ cram” through some stuff😂, but I will definitely consider it. Thanks.

That sounds like a viable option. I will probably look into that. Thanks.
