Look well, it's not a breakaway but a learning ground. We are in a discussion class

Who says you can't keep carrying your backpack, just as long you also have the suitcase...yes I know wat I just said cos many engine ladies around me actually carry both backpacks and handbags, yeah both at the same time....tho it always leaves me wondering why

Jamean:
I will take the back pack to mean continuous learning and self development which is necessary to be relevant in life. By this definition, you can carry the back pack forever.

Not everyone can be called an Engineer, but anyone can become an Accountant, Auditor, Banker or Economist.

If you start a "newly found" career route and it seems just right*, (just right is relative; environment, pay, good prospects et al) then by all means, carve a niche there. It's about loving what you do and enhancing your interest in the sector you are plying.

Back then in school, whilst studying Chemical Engineering, i normally buy "BusinessDay" at a student price of N50 twice/thrice in a week at the School Gate and my interest for economics and economic related information increased tremendously.

During my internship with an IOC in my 4th Year of Uni., i was posted in one of the rotations to a "Business Analysis" section per se - where they analyse how economic policies and it's related activities affects all aspects of E&P activities, especially Gas business and a couple of them were Engineers with the CFA title (Chartered Financial Analyst).

So, as "Fate" would have it, my first job after service is in the broad investment world, so even if i somehow find myself back to Engineering (which i doubt - until Oyel People comes calling wink), the yearning for investments would still be there and i might just go back.

All in All, with the state of the economy viz a viz current statistics on unemployment rate, making a career choice should be like the 3rd ranking in an hierarchy of both needs and wants.

Ferdyboss lemme correct you in case you're implying that fulfilment = working in the line of the course you study...I'll state 2 scenarios
1.) Let's say I studied engineering but after I couldn't get a job I picked up an audit job and after one year I find out dt I'm really enjoying the job like I enjoy auditing nd all the plenty numbers, maybe luckily the firm I'm working is a good one with good staff welfare, career growth and all those things we want in an employment...won't you say I'm more fulfilled than a fellow colleague who maybe got a job in an engineering firm but somehow there are many circumstances around the job dt doesn't make my friend happy even tho he may be making same amount of money with me or even more ( curled from a true life experience
2.) The second scenario is maybe I even studied dt particular course cos dt was wat Uniben dashed me nd then still got a job in another line because that was what the job market dashed me but now I'm enjoying what the job market dashed me....
Bottomline is just to find a job dt gives you the real inner fulfilment, I understand that the job market isn't fair nd many times we take anyone dt comes but in the 21st century if you had to take a job u don't like and you still remain there grumbling about that job for over 5 years then I put it to you that you don't know what you're doing
Fulfilment in my words is doing a job that you love and you enjoy and dt fulfils your dreams of a job, either along your course of study or not and dt explains why you see someone going to study law after an MBBS, cos maybe he just realised he's more interested in that or his interest has changed over time.
Lemme stop there before they say cc is talking too much

Ferdyboss:
Anyways, career wise, I have a question for graduate Engineers who are not practicing Engineering. Do you feel this is fate panning out or you believe It's better to continue at whatever "newly found" career route you are already trailing whilst you cave a niche for yourself? After years of not getting what you want, How has your pursuit for greatness and career relevance been?

Do you consider fulfillment or you prefer "making money" regardless of the far less than Engineering career you currently find yourself in ?.

Has not getting your desired role affected your performance in your current career path?

Nice day holding that briefcase

As for me, I prefer to hold my toolkit while someone else holds my briefcase as we walk along

Jamean:
I know you're aware that Otedola doesn't carry back pack

amicable09:

Another male chauvinist spotted. Anyway,this is an issue that has to be discussed before marriage. You aren't better than men that allowed it. Are you better Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's husband?
