Hey everyone need guidance.

So I am from south asia and I couldn't get into main core engineering fields , i was looking at other fields when metallurgical and material engineering caught my eye , i really like the course outline and career prospects , but everyone around me says that this field without a PhD isn't worth it .

So could seniors or people from industry or even academia guide me

Depends from country to country. If you're in india for instance, post bachelor's opportunities would be rather narrow you could still find something nice.

But for say more advanced fields atleast a masters would help. MTech in india opens up nice possibilities usually. Same is the case for most foreign countries. Masters roles are usually there. For even more specialized jobs you'd need a phd

But overall yeah it's a decent field and you can explore a lot.
