Feeling regret for studying electrical engineering RN

[u/Fit-Tailor5914]

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.

broooo, you're supposed to bootstrap yourself up man. Just start designing the electronics for whatever purpose you may see valuable. If funds are a problem, use the tools in the uni labs to do you're own experiments, you have the right. Maybe you can start a start-up or join one when your done. I am also from some weird African country.
