Environmental Engineer Graduated 8 years ago, no experience so far and wanting to start to get into the industry...Need some help!
As the tittle says, I'm a graduated environmental engineer, I graduated in 2018 (but never studied really too much during school, was a dumb teenager, wasted a lot of time and now I want to change that) and never did anything with my title, but now I'm 31... and have found the hard way how much easier life would be if I had a better income as an engineer instead of working at any side hustle or shitty job without a title.
But after so many years, no experience and also not being the best student I feel very intimidated when I see the required experience and skills to qualify for a job, I live in Colombia; and I would like to see if someone with a big heart could help me have a direction on where to go to start studying and getting on track with the career again by myself (with the help of chatgpt); I just feel overwhelmed and feel like don't know where to go and like I won't be able to make it; but at the same time I want to.
So if someone with a big heart could help me with any direction I would really appreciate it, which skills you recomend me to develop, what to start studying to have a bigger chance to find a good paying job and build a career; and feel comfortable to aply for a job.
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR KIND HEARTH AND GUIDANCE
