Hi,
It is really good to hear that you aspire to become an engineer. Well, all the branches of engineering are equally good and have good job opportunities.
Selecting a branch is entirely your decision. Always remember,
- You should focus on what all you will study in each branch and choose a branch which matches your interest and skills.
- Join a reputed college as this will increase your job prospects.
- Discuss with your seniors and others about the pros and cons of each branch and make a decision which will help you in building up a rewarding career.
The most important thing which you should keep in mind while choosing your education stream is your own interests and career aspiration, no matter how booming a particular career stream is but you would be able to excel in that stream only when you have interest in that particular field.
As per your query you are confused between Civil & Mechanical
It is extremely difficult to make a comparison between any two core streams in engineering. The outcome from pursuing any of the streams in engineering is highly dependent on the passion for the subject.
The heights you can conquer with any of the streams depend on your approach towards research and innovation in the same field.
So the benefits from both these streams go hand in hand and as told earlier, the outcome depends on your passion to excel in the field of your choice.
