Uhhh
I'm a college student going in Uni this year Inshallah but I don't know which department should I join . I'm trying to go into NED so I would prefer advice on the courses such as
Mechanical
Software
IT
And Game development / Animation
I would like to ask about the above mentioned fields and their scopes around the globe

Try to get a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or mathematics first. From there, you can move anything you want into IT/Data Science/ Computer Science, but you will have a solid STEM base. Electrical Engineering will get you all the necessary ingredients. Software is highly competitive unless you are a real expert. Make sure you are comfortable with Calculus, which you will need at a later stage, even in Game Development!

I graduated as a Mechanical engineer back in 96 in the US. Worked in the US for a decade in various industries. Then moved down to Australia and got into oil n gas/ mineral processing/ resource sector. Worked in Australia for a good decade on many resource sector projects, then got a one year stint in Armenia on a project and another year in the North Sea. Then another few years in the UAE and Iraq on various oil n gas projects. I retired at 50 years age. Now I day trade as a hobby and do a bit of consulting part time.

What we have done was the common norm in our generation. The coolest thing we did in our teenage life was pay our own bills and not go on adventures at our parents' expense. The new generation is a different breed, and all want fast-track careers without getting enough experience and knowledge. Still, many new generations can not beat us regarding money, knowledge, and physical fitness. They only compare themselves with their own parents, who were never our types except for their age. So, the best advice for a newbie is to finish at least a bachelor's in the STEM field so that the newbie can pay bills and take some of the burden off the parents.

STEM is key!.......Yaar look at Irani turani......they are our neighbors no?.......its not like they in da EU.......but they far more capable in STEM than most (99%) EU nations. We need advisory help in our country/ society......our stupid jharrnail don't know where we headed. We should ask for help from our western neighbors. Its really important. A culture of science and technology is what's needed. If Iran and Turkey can do it, then so can we. Our people are very bright, but we just don't got proper leadership. These irani turani goin send a man into space soon, quickly followed up by their small space station, aur baqi saaray muslim mumalik goin watch with their gobs wide open. Irani's will most definitely do it within a few years aur hum nay kuchh nahi karna except praise Indian achievements on youtube. Laanti baghertay jharrnail have ruined us.

Yeah, during my experience with Iranians in the Anglosphere I've noticed that they tend to think more. They take a moment to rationalize in their own way and then input, you can see it processing in their faces if that makes any sense, so this is why there are doing well in certain fields as compared to their neighbors.

@Aryobarzan @Nevsky @Ario @wudangmaster @jauk Might add some input.

Well, genetically and culturally a lot our people are "Perso-Aryans" and NOT Mongol or Gangetic Desi. We are doing fine and nothing we can do if our country is run by Gangetic Desi's. Look at Imran Khan and what the desis did to this bright Perso-Aryan guy ! Gangetic desis have put him a cage so that he can not roar.

He wants to get you a job of Tim Cook.

Complete Bachelor's degree in any IT field. Data Science, AI and Cloud Computing are in high demand these days. If you are living in Pakistan, you have limited career options regardless of how many degrees you have. But for most countries, it should get you a job. After that, your work experience matters the most as it will help you increase your pay grade.

That is the minimum of what people are doing here as kids in my family did. Most people do more. Pakistani degrees without engineering backgrounds will have difficulties here in the USA in the tech field as many of those so-called IT degrees have a lot of missing prerequisites. They still have to do their masters here and then they will have to get the GRE too.

Sir there is no end to skills so he can indeed obtain the engineering degree and get a better job.

But ruling out other degrees is not the right approach. I can tell you for certain that even if you don’t have a degree in IT, you will qualify for most IT jobs for as long as you know what you are doing. If you know a programming language like Python or Java and you are really good in either of these languages, the job is guaranteed. I am saying this based on my experience as I learned Python and Java as party of my university degree.
