advice needed : career path
hello, all:
i just found this forum a few days ago and i have been browsing through
as much as i could in my "free" time. (i have 3 boys: 5, 2, 0.5 years old.
leisure is not in my vocab!). i am very impressed by the wealth of information and moral support available here
i am 36 years old. graduate with civil engineering (basic in singapore, masters in usa). in my career, i spent 6 months as a site engineer (internship). then 2 years as a design engineer. after that, i switched industry and worked for the IT/electronics sector as a business development manager. it's been 8 years. as they say, i was young and silly ...but now i am just silly.
i cannot nominate sales and marketing manager nor computing professional from the sol, because the assessment is too stringent. i am trying to get back into civil engineering, even if it's just a junior position, work for a year, and then apply for migration visa. (i need the minimum 12 months recent work experience). civil engineering is on the modl.
question:
- would i have difficulty getting my civil engineering cdr approved?
(considering the long break in my related career)
- is this a right career move? what have i missed?
