    I graduated from college last year with two degrees. One in Civil Engineering and another in Structural Engineering. As you can imangine, job oppourtunites for these kind of degrees are very limited in Ireland at the moment. I am currently working for a engineering firm on a non paid internship so i can gain some experience.
    I have heard that engineers can get jobs in the business and finance sector due to having a good ability to work with numbers and problem solving.
    Does anyone have any advise on this?

    OP if you are good at maths then there will always be opportunities available in other sectors. You should probably consider doing a Masters in a given field to convert and update your skillset.

    There is lots of demand for qualified people in software engineering. Also in the banks and insurance sector actuaries are always in demand but the exams to get there are tough. There are dozens of avenues you could go down with a good aptitude for maths, you just gotta research it a good bit and find the niche that excites you now and will still excite you just as much in 20 years.
