are you in the proper caste? will your mommy sign the permission slip?

If you're wanting to become an technician and deal with hardware, you may not need qualfications. I know several people who have become IT support members without. \n\nYou will need some prior knowledge though. You will need to be able to do more than changing a GFX card say. You will likely need knowlege of all aspects. \n\nYou can gain knowledge by browsing the internet. After all, the net is filled with computer garb.\n\nIf you can afford to do so, or are currently claiming unemployment benefit, you can ask companies near you for 'unpaid' experience. This is how I got into the games industry. Although I have a Master's degree in computing I struggled to find work. Working for free for a few weeks you can gain lots of knowledge, a bit of experience and a great reference from your employer. \n\nMost folks have training in IT now but no experience. I was in that category for sometime. You need to give yourself an edge. \n\nYou may think 'I'm not working for f**king free!!', but it may just lead to something. It happened to me and others I know.\n\nHope this helps and good luck. :-D

Well, what is "calling" you to a job in construction?  Is it something you've always wanted to do?  Do you crave a job that allows you to be outside and more physically active?  \n\nThe answer that you spend so much of your time far from home and want a job that will keep you in the area where your family/friends are is a great reason for changing careers.  Just make sure that the answer you give makes it sound that you aren't just jumping from something (chemical engineering) but that you are jumping TO something (construction).  They should be able to believe that this new career truly appeals to you, you've thought about it, and that this is a profession you want to stick with for a period of time.

Weigh all te pros and cons. Whether u can afford to change the career at the given tme. Choose the right time to change career. And just go in the field that u are passionate about.\n\nDo whatever u like the best. But give it u'r best ('cause now u won't have any excuse to not like u'r career).

alot of the factories are doing them online now...so i would check their website to see if they have a place on it that you can apply.

Tough question. \n\nI went to a Earle C. Clements JobCorps in Morganfield, Kentucky. I originally went for plumbing, but the class was full and I had to wait for it and choose a different trade. I chose carpentry. I flew through the course scoring some of the highest grades of anyone that had ever attended there, but hated being there. It is the largest JobCorps facility there is and because of the number of students, there were many problems. I left after finishing carpentry, but never really went anywhere with it. (Not what I was training for anyway, ended up building wood furniture.) Anyway, if I would have stayed and taken plumbing, I'd be making quite a bit more money, so I regret leaving when I did. \n\nIf I were you, I would take carpentry and go to college. Doing this will give you the biggest opportunity to make larger amounts of money. If you don't want to do both, I suggest you go to college as college graduates tend to make substantialy more money than non grads. My best advice is to do both though.

It is possible.   But it boils down to supply and demands.\nSome type of engineering require domestic engineers and not consulting services.   But the number are limited.\nThere are demands in US and canada but don't know the supply situation.   There may be fewer engineering students than before also.

I have worked software for many years.  I do not recommend it as a career any more.  \n\nTwenty years ago it was a good career choice - good money, lots of flexibility, and real conrtol over your project.  None of those are the case any more except for a lucky few.  In particular you have very little control over what you are going to do.  There is no engineering anymore - now it is simply producing code.\n\nI know nothing about mechanical engineering and couldn't advise you there

Very interesting question, depending on yr build and hart you could become a construction worker ( using a jack hammer, or lots of power tool that are loud and vibrate) . just a thought ?

Depending on your age, experience and grades, it can be fairly easy.  You would likely work for a chemical company or an oil company.  Current starting salaries are around $59K.  I wouldn't get an engineering degree though. You'll regret it.

Are you wanting to study it online? In which case, I would strongly suspect that the answer is 'no' as it is a vocational subject. If you want to learn Plumbing, then you might want to find the web address of the college nearest to where you live. Most colleges offer full/part-time day/evening NVQ courses. Otherwise, I don't think there is any online catalogue for NVQs the way there are for undergrad degrees.

I would get a new employer or change my choice of work. You must be very good at many things to do such work. I would think there would be openings in the construction field you could venture into. \nSorry for the situation.

we can build our career by achieving the higher positions we aim at. Its not a one day act. It goes on in your life until you have a career goal and you are striving to reach that.

how about seeking a teaching status (qualification) in your field of construction with a view to teaching it on a college level etc of whatever equivalent you have in the states.Or write a book on the subject.

That job is governments. You can construct farm house. For converting, you approach Chennai Metropolitan Development Administration (CMDA).

Yes, you can do it, but it will require iterations.  \n\n1) Convert all units to standard engineering units (feet, pounds, seconds).\n\n2) Set up the mechanical energy equation:\n(p2 - p1)/gamma = z2 - z1 + (f*L*v^2)/(2*D*g)\nwhere p2 -p1 is the pressure across the pipe (20 psi, but convert to lb/ft^2), z2 - z1 is the rise in the pipe (if any), gamma is the specific weight of water (62.4 lb/ft^3), L is the length of the pipe (50 ft), D is the I.D. of the pipe (ft), and g is the acceleration of gravity.  \n\n3) Now you have a problem: v is the velocity of the water, and f is the friction factor, which depends on v.  So, you guess a value for v, and calculate f from it.  You look up f on a chart (it's called a "Moody chart").  But you'll need the Reynolds number and relative roughness of the pipe surface to do that.  Then you try another v, find f, etc.  Or, you can try this:\n\nhttp://www.fluidmech.net/jscalc/vmd03.htm\n\n4) Just keep plugging in different velocities until the head loss (right side of the equation) equals the left side.  Then convert to volumetric flow rate.\n\nHey, I get 14.2 ft/s, 0.0774 ft^3/s = 34.7 gpm

Yes you can. Go to options.
