Advise For Starting A Career

[Furqan03]

Hello, My name is Furqan. I am into 3D modeling for a while. I want to start a career in 3D modeling but I don't know where should I begin so that I am able to earn. I have uploaded some my works at the following sites:

Any suggestions / comments / advise would be highly valuable for me.

You'd almost certainly need some formal qualifications before any employer would consider hiring you. Start here:

Thank you for replying. I am having a four year Mechanical Engineering Degree. Won't that suffice as a formal qualification?

I fear that it might be deemed largely irrelevant for work within the field of CAD unless you could show that your degree studies included relevant elements of design work. A degree in design engineering, or in product design, would probably carry far more weight with a potential initial employer in the field than one in mechanical engineering is likely to; it's a highly competitive job market.

It might be best to seek out a role in mechanical engineering that happens to include some CAD work. Then, as your career develops, you could gradually transition across to roles with a greater emphasis on CAD, using the experience that you've already gained as a stepping stone to do so.

Job experience: 0
I think nobody would ever hire me now :(
I was thinking of freelancing after having learnt different CAD softwares, but looks like it won't work due to the highly competitive market out there.

You are really taking your time to help me out. The problem I face with freelancing websites is that they are so intimidating. Why would someone buy and give precedence to a newbie's design over someone who has accumulated so many reputation points over the years?
You might be thinking by now what a nuisance I am!

If I was you, my starting point would be to get a cracking good website for myself. (Unless you're an absolute whiz at website design, leave it to a professional. I design websites for myself and others, where it doesn't matter if something might look a bit amateurish occasionally. However in your situation it's essential that everything really is top notch).

Then, when advertising your skills on freelancing sites, always include a link to your own website. If that looks really professional, people will start to take you seriously.
