I need some career advice. - rony_shawkat - 11-22-2014

Hi... I am from Bangladesh and currently working as a Structural Detailer in a steel construction company and I have completed Diploma Engineering. I am just not making enough money to complete Graduation or Bsc in Civil Engineering.

So without a degree what types of skills can I learn to earn a better living for life time... I mean do I need to learn do electrical drawing and other types of drawings??

I am very confuse and frustrated with my career and life now... I am 27 years old and I am just going nowhere with my career...SadSad

Can anyone give me some good advice please??

Dear Rony_Shawkat,

Structural detailing is a good job. You know that having high knowledge in one field is much better than some in many fields. I recommend you to work on your current structural detailing field and try to improve it. For example, you can learn Tekla Structures and Revit Structures softwares which are a good advantage for finding a job in many design companies. I thing being a specialist in Tekla and Revit software can help you in finding many great job opportunities.

Wish it helps.

Wish you all the best

Regards,
