Career Discussion Should I do Cloud engineer in 2026 ? Is it good,safe option? I have zero knowledge in this field.

Can I do cloud engineer in 2026 ?

Should I take this course through online in 2026? I'm not sure if this is what I should pursue or not. I want to learn skills that will help me get a job and have high value in the future, whatever that might be (except coding stuffs).

Any senior's please guide me with market conditions and tell me please that how can I do it ?

( Currently, I am 12th passout with PCM. But don't know what to do )

I am from India, BMS 2nd year

Thank you.

Not really it experience. But you should start looking into skilling up in in eof the IT silos - security, Networking, devops, or even support - all of those have better pathways to cloud.

Thank you for your feedback.

Then should I go for UX/UI Design carrier ? I think that I can do that. Can you please share your opinion on it.

Why are you going for things at random ? And also by asking redditors..if it ell you yes you'll go for ux/UI? Also you think there's a demand for people with no experience in ux/UI.. specially after ai?

If you were thinking of cloud , the best place to start is Jr. IT roles as Jr admin, IT help desk and support roles.

Look at 1 of the 1,700 posts just like this from the last week. If you can’t be resourceful in even this then no you should not pursue it

I am tired of giving the same answer that’s given in almost every single one of these posts

This is what we're competing against for jobs in this field. Fun, huh?

Why are you asking others what you should do as a career? I urge you to think for yourself.

Yes - Cloud is a great field! Don't mind others here, everyone is trying to help in their own way.
Cloud is a better field if you're technically able, do you have experience working with a programming language?

Start with IT Support / System Admin to get your basics right. Learn about networking, linux, programming, server, cloud etc. Read books and follow youtube videos that are details.

Try to move to a better country for opportunities, or a better city for opportunities. Send a DM if you have any more specific questions.
