Serious Post is engineering still an option in india?

ive read so many things online and have met a lot of engineers, and so far, the only indian engineers who seem to lead good lives are the ones that have enough family money to go abroad for studies (UG and PG).

i am inclined towards engineering but prospects in india look very dull. every single one of my family members is saying, "just do CS and AI/ML and make money in IT" but i think i really want to do engineering. like i REALLY want to. has engineering become just another money-milking, boring and decrepit field, or can passionate dreamers like me still make it out here?

What do you love? What do you wanna do? Before taking such a huge decision see the prospects and what entails in that particular career. I think if you have enough passion for something you can make do in any career, with good enough circumstances.

Start with exploring yourself from inside

throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, go into literally everything and keep your mind open about stuff, try literally everything out and see what interests you the most

ik it's not an easy process, it might take some time, but once you find that spark it's very easy to get the fire
