It is not such type of job where you sit in your table whole day (may be night if overtime) in-front of your computer scratching your head feeling dizzy. This job is something that requires experience. Simply knowledge earned from book pays little here (doesn't mean it won't matter) . But you need thorough knowledge of all the topics and terms within. Construction, Geotechnical and structural are the common and most popular field of civil engineering. You can also go in the field of design using CAD and all. You may be using the various software and design the structures.
With initiation of township and all, the demand in Nepal for the professional from this field only seems to be growing in near future.

But since this field is too common and most of the people tend to choose civil engineering, don't go for it simply because you have to make a sensible choice regarding your career. Go for the field of your interest.
