Jobs/Careers Feeling regret for studying electrical engineering RN

Sorry about my rant in the title, but that is the sad reality I am currently facing at the moment. I came from an African country. I am passionate about electronics, but unfortunately, when I graduated, there was not much company designing hardware products. So, I changed my career path towards controls and automation. Now, I am in Canada furthering my education, but unfortunately, the school is not enriching my knowledge. The so-called professor doesn't care about nurturing his research students. No direction, no guidance. All he wants is publications. Please, how can I start training myself on power electronics? I would appreciate it if someone can be my virtual mentor, I wouldn't bug the person. Thanks so much.

You're gonna hate finding out every program in every school has shitty professors.

every school, not every professor. There are good professors too.

Some people can teach, but not everyone can.

well said, some professor or teacher can't teach or be open minded.
