if you are a good software engineer, you could get paid more than a civil engineer.

you can expect salaries starting 10,000QR, reaching more than 30,000QR. it really depends on how good you are.

The money your father may be earning is because of his 22 years of experience. You cannot compare a 22 year experienced person which 2-3 or even 10 years experienced person.

All fields are good careers. Be it civil engineering or computers.

To be a good software engineer you need to get experience first.

Writing a few programs and getting praise from Ur teachers will make u feel you are at the top of this world but remember that the real world is completely different than you think. Come out of your college and you will not even be able to write a simple program the real world demands.

Only way of building a good career and earning money is to get good experience in whatever you do.

Computer Engineering is the best course nowadays. You have lot of scope in other countries like Singapore, UK, USA. There is no scope in Qatar for expat - fresh engineers. Expats need many years of experience before finding a job in Qatar.
