It is not how far or good the engineering course may sound, but how well you can cope. Develop your potential.
I was once a victim of such myopic decision, but i was adamant.
Follow your instinct.

people switch fields all the time.

You only have to be very sure it's what you want.


And please don't zero your mind on a specific field of engineering already.

And that you worked with Civil Engineers in the past isn't reason enough. For all I know, you could be thinking Chemical Engineering if you had encounter with Chemical Engineers

Just be double triple sure about what you want and go for it.

My dear, you don't choose a career path because your parents asked you to do so, you choose a career path because you've done your homework and have come to a conclusion that your choice is where you're convinced you're going to excel.

Your parents want you to go into civil engineering because they see other people excelling in it not minding whether or not you're academically prepared for it. Your parents aren't going to live your life or deal with the negative consequences of your choice.

So my advice to you as a commercial student whose initial dream was to study business Administration is to re-kindle that fire.

You can always achieve your goal of becoming a graduate of bus admin...don't jump into somewhere you have very little knowledge about just because your parents compelled you to do so.

Good luck.
