Abstract :
This paper describes career crossroads are a sign of the times for engineers. Once the first technical job is begun, warning signs of the crossroad are shown up on the career path around the time when the level of boredom or disinterest is noticed. The time it takes for this to occur will vary with each engineer and the reasons for the boredom. When the engineers decide to take a new path, the technology area and the suitability of the new path with their abilities should be first considered. After analyzing the reasons for the crossroad, think whether the new position will truly solve the problem that brings the crossroad. Wherever employed, good reputation for the quality of the work, good source of information and high sense of ethics should be developed
