Hey, as a 2nd year Btech CSE student I will suggest you to only choose your career as a software engineer if you are really passionate about this field. You'll only earn more in less time when you're working in a domain in which you're good at. If you enjoy participating in competitive coding, hackathons you can go for a career as software engineer. At the end of the day you'll realise that the only way to earn more in less time is to love the work you're doing.

If we analyze these careers, in termw of which one is more likely to earn faster then we could say the ranking should be

1. Software engineer

2. Mechanical engineer

3. Fashion designer

Choosing a field purely for early pay mighr neglect whether you enjoy the work. So be careful while choosing between these career options.

If you're goal is to earn more sooner, then software engineer is the career where you are most likely to earn more in less time.

All the best

Hello,

If your goal is to earn more in fewer years, then Software Engineering is the best choice among the three.

Here’s why:

• Software Engineer: Offers high starting salaries, remote job options, and fast career growth, especially if you learn in-demand skills like AI, data science, or full-stack development. You can start earning well within 1–2 years of experience.

• Mechanical Engineer: Stable but slower growth, higher salaries usually come after 5–7 years or a master’s degree.

• Fashion Designer: Needs creativity, brand building, and experience, earnings depend on market reputation, it takes time to establish.

Best pick for fast income with less years, then you can go for Software Engineering.

Hope you understand.
