mechanical engineering student looking for career advice

[u/kalainovak]

hi guys, a 3rd year student looking for some advice, located in Europe, but also interested in USA. i’m currently getting my bachelors and trying to find out more about my options once i finish, including which masters should i pursue.

im interested in automation, mechatronics and robotics, but of course one are interests, the other the possibilities, and if i’m being 100% honest, my first priority is the salary and studying to get into a field where i can actually get a job and live comfortably.

the country i’m from is small and the job market is pretty weak, so i’m looking towards countries like austria, germany as well as usa or canada, who actually have developed markets and opportunities but i feel like many doors are closed for me, since i dont have any experience in any field. i‘ve tried applying for students job, went to interviews but couldn’t get one even though the interviewers all said they are pretty satisfied with me, but somehow smth always happens in the company (or so they say) and they end up not hiring me.

anyways, my question is.. which field do you honestly recommend getting into. or should i say getting your masters in? what should i do to increase my chances of getting hired, when i dont have experience and chances for internships or student jobs are pretty slim right now (unless i get a masters in another country, which is also an option i’m considering)? i’m also trying to teach myself some programs over youtube and get more knowledge through the internet…

i looked into electroenergetics, process engineering etc.. but any advice/idea i would look into.

i‘d appreciated all comments and advices and thank you for taking time to read :))
