How Should Your Post-Engineering Life Be Like? Don’t be Fooled By Myths

I would say that both the MBA and M. Tech/MS courses have equal importance. In fact, when the IIMs were established, majority of the intake for MBA courses was from engineering graduates. Subsequently when IIITs, BITS, NITs came up the number of seats expanded. -- Dr Ali Khwaja

Finally, push your passion and forget the rest

Even psychologists are baffled with the fact that India is amongst the top countries where engineers are forced into taking up the course by parents. Remember that there are other always other fields (that are even more lucrative than engineering) in case you feel that working in an engineering job is not your cup of tea.

There are areas such as music; if you research more, you will find that most of our playback singers are top-notch engineers having quit their academic fields to pursue their heart. Even a career in Technical/Technology journalism also offers lot of scope for improvisation whilst utilising your engineering skills/talents.

Always keep in mind that engineering also exists beyond IT, and Electronics. Domains such as Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Sciences are considered as ‘evergreen’ by the experienced engineers’ category of people. Opportunities in Government/PSU sectors are numerous in these branches.

In summary, it is advised that you refrain from comparing your life with that of others. Do not be held back by popular beliefs; step-out and enjoy your post-engineering life.

  2. Graduate Engineers and post graduate engineers are treated the same way in most of Eng. Industries except a few more increments for post graduate Engineers. Most of the graduate Engineers quit PG in between when a good job opportunity comes.
    But, MBA is something different and relates to career choice option from manufacturing to marketing. Many Engineers leave jobs in mfg sector and go for MBA to jump on Marketing side.

    • Hi Sanjeet,

      In this case you can opt for an MBA via correspondence in case you are interested in higher studies. Check this article.

      Based on your academic score of engineering you can also check for sponsorships/higher-education scholarships that are afforded by the government. You can also raise a higher education loan to meet your higher studies expense. In this case, even an MS can also be pursued.

      Finally, it’s your call. Focus on your abilities/interests. Wishing you all the best.
