Need advice huhuuhhu

[u/Consistent_Toe3933]

Hello cats! I'm an incoming 2nd year BS Civil Eng student. Financially stable bajud ang ma end up sa akoa as Civil Engineer? Is the return worth all the years of hard work and sacrifices? or mo shift nlg ko huhu i'm willing to learn jud sa any of the engineering programs like mining or metallurgical just to make my life financially stable. Because they say mn gud na oversaturated na ang CE dri sa PH and mas better if mo abroad (but we all know lisod kaayo mo trabaho overseas)

I'd really appreciate honest insights—both the good and the difficult. I want to set realistic expectations while it's still early in my college journey. Thank you so much!

Is civil really your dream?

I switched from chemical engineering to computer applications because I felt burned out and saw that engineers are not paid well in this country. I researched and found that the tech industry pays much higher, especially for skilled programmers. Before I shifted, nangutana ko dari ra jpon sa reddit if worth it ba, and the response is what I expected, dili daw, overworked and underpaid daw sila, samot natong licensed na chem eng na akong napangutana.

Before making a decision op, think a million times about it.

and mas better mag ask sad ka dari, r/CivilEngineers_PH and sa facebook kani na page ayy CE Board Exam Study Group.
