Hi,
There is a topic in my mind and I want to share it with you.
I have graduated from civil engineering and worked in construction sector for 5 years. But now, I don't want to perform this business for two reasons:
1-) there is an extreme number of civil engineers.
2-) low salaries
3-) personal dislike (yes, I don't like my job).
So, I decided to join a MBA program in germany. Do you think that I can find job opportunities by this choice? I need a career rather than civil engineering. Is the MBA something I should do.
Please share your opinions, I deeply need them.
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at https://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/specific-career-goals-help-you-to-pick-the-right-mba-64431 and let us know about your German language skills.

Please let us know your career goals. Without substantive German language skills—fluency or close to it—outcomes in the country will be rather limited.

Right now I have b1 german level. I am planning to have a 2 years mba program.
And my career goal is to get a good job with satisfactory salary.

I think one or two semesters in an intensive German course, followed by a one year MBA, would be more effective.

Based on some experiences I heard, language skills and citizenship matter the most. If you don't have European citizenship and German language skills. Forget it. Try to search business school in Australia, Canada, or Singapore.

Citizenship doesn't matter as much in Germany. They have a rather open visa policy, and most MBA grads can apply for a post-study work visa after the program. There are no lotteries or anything of the like for work visas.
Language, on the other hand, is absolutely critical.

Are you living in Germany?

Someone with civil engineering skills could have good quant skills (certainly I, when taking economics exams, found engineering text books to be the ones that taught me maths the best). The challenge is that some non-Europeans (I assume the OP is Turkish) could end up in a very limited range of under-paid quant or construction jobs, and never have the time or position to become fluent in German.
The bigger issue is that the OP doesn't have clear career goal. So, maybe an MBA is the right choice, but perhaps it should instead be a degree in finance, computing, project management, industrial management, architecture.... A career aptitude test might be really helpful.
