Dear friends, seniors and the css qaulifiers,

i have a query regarding css and the engineering career abroad. my question is that how you guys wld compare the css and the engineering career abroad, cuz the reason of my query is that i appeared in CE 2011 and merely with the preparation of 3 to 4 months i got 590 marks, that was my first and attempt and two attempts left. I am a bit confused cuz, I am professional engineer and i have a sure shot career abroad, as there is uncertainty in the CSS career so wht you wld suggest me whether i continue the css preparation or to go for my engineering career.

Please, it is my earnest request to all seniors and esp. CSS qualifiers to guide me, so that i cld make the decision considering you valuable responses and suggestions.

thanks in advance.


wannabe

It depends upon your preference:

if you desire to have Authority, Power and social recognition.........should go for CSS preparation and ultimately will achieve the same by means of hard working................

if you want to have high earning ................ must go abroad in your field.

I second Hussain Qureshi..

I would say brother Know thyself

and if still you cannot decide then it may sound strange to you but if I were you I would have asked my parents about their preference also after communicating them my interest...

and even then if you are indecisive or have any queries in mind i would suggest you do istekhara and ask Alllah as to what is better for you..

Godspeed!

I have been abroad...Where would you go? America? Europe? Arab world? Man there is nothing out there...Sure you will have a career but only hand to mouth. It's not easy to be accustomed of life abroad...

How long would you stay there?
Jobs are not easy to find specially after economic recession.
What is aim of your life? Moderate living with respect?

There is no job that is better than CSS in the entire world. You earn Respect, Prestige, make excellent friends. Above all you get self acquisition and Pride. You are a Bright candidate and my humble advice would be stay here and Try even harder for CSS with full preparation and effort.

One final thing, your engineering career is going no where, You can start that even after a year or two but do not miss the chance of this opportunity. I wish you all the very best.

Regards,
Omar.

Posting in this thread 3.5 years after its creation. What do you guys still think? CSS or Engineering Career abroad?
I am going through this dilemma, I even had a job abroad but left it to come back and give CSS exams in 2015. I gave the exams and results are near, but as these 2 years have passed, I have grown very disillusioned with this place and the way things are over here. I have become quite disconnected from this place and my people. Now I don't even feel like going for CSS as life abroad was really good. I need some guidance please.

Kingfalcon, I am a doctor, alumnus of one of the top Medical colleges of Punjab. Our seniors used to advise us during my MBBS years in these words (and I really hated these words at that time): "Pakistan se zindaa bhaag". After my house job, I advise the same to my juniors (in softer words though). Pakistan has become a nightmare for professionals. A skilled professional is an asset, and is treated as such in developed countries. That's not the case in Pakistan. There's nothing like being the master of your own fate; making a living through your hard-earned skills is both fulfilling and rewarding. Civil "servants" are servants of politicians here in Pakistan. Yes, there are privileges and perks. But that's nothing compared to the fulfilment you get by doing work in your own field. I myself wanted to go abroad, but my parents want me to stay. And that is why I am trying my luck in CSS even though I am a skilled professional who can, by Allah's grace, make career anywhere in the world.

Life in Abroad is very tough and hard, I spent one year in USA. Lots of Pakistani are working there. Majority are Doctors and engineers, they earn a lot of money. the doctor getting above 8 lakh per month while engineer receiving above 10 lakh salary per month,but they are not happy in their life.
My Advice for you that you must avail css opportunity, and it will be very good if you will selected in FSP, where Money, respect, everything you will get easily.
