Career Change or Background Change

What shall i do?

I've completed my B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering(didn't do it as career as i wasn't serious then. I wanted to do something unique but got trapped) and am not loving it at all( no jobs at all in my country). I wanna change to GeoTechnical Engineering. I've good academic background with distinction at all level but i'm not confident enough if i could bag scholarship as GeoTechnical Engineering is done by mostly from Civil Background.

What shall i do?? Should i give a shot or apply to MS in Petroleum engineering and change later after going to USA. TBH i don't want to live in US. I just want to make my career good.

Shall i go for CIVIL ENGINEERING from bachlors. i'm sorry i'm so mush confused.

The masters course is always determined by your work experience in relation to your work experience. While some universities may allow admission based on an unrelated undergrad course and work experience, the same cannot be said for most scholarship programs. These require evidence of work abilities, training in related fields and a future related career application. These are the primary reasons why a student looking for a career change finds it difficult to apply for scholarships coming from an unrelated field.

You seem to be at a career crossroad at this point. You cannot expect to qualify for a U.S.A. based scholarship when you do not have a real career map ahead of you. Figure out what career path you really want to have first, then work on the career change qualifications on a local scale first. This may require you to take additional college courses to help with your career change. Or not.It will depend upon relevant your previous degree is to the new careers you want to enter into. Once you have enough work related experience and training, then you may begin to consider an international MS scholarship. 2 years of dedicated career path changes should help you get a minimal shot at such a scholarship.

Changing career paths or getting scholarships cannot be done on a whim or overnight. These require preparation and careful consideration on the part of the student. I hope that I was able to help you understand the steps you have to take based upon what you wish to do. Best of luck. I hope you find your true career path soon.
