Unemployed petroleum engineer needs career advice

Hi all,

I'm figuring things out

So, I graduated in 2016 with a BSc in Petroleum Engineering in a foreign country.

I majored in engineering for my performance and love of math and physics. I chose petroleum, however, not for a particular reason except that it was a so-called better paying job (very dumb of me I know). Although I did great in it and scored highest in tests and projects, I did not like it especially after doing internships that were terrible.

When I graduated, the oil and gas industry was hit hard because of oil prices and everyone was getting laid off, no entry-levels employed. And so, I started working in customer service and then in IT as survival jobs.

A year later, I moved to Toronto as I got sponsored by family.

Now, after a year and a half in Toronto, I have been working as a security and concierge because I was not able to find something meaningful in oil and gas in Alberta or other provinces; everything I find requires a lot of experience, and when it does not, it is a coop for current students only.

After being registered with Professional Engineers Ontario as an Engineering Intern, I have been to a couple of newcomers' programs in the Toronto area, but all they offer is how to write a resume and how to perform in an interview (I’m good at both), and then, they have labor jobs, mid-level jobs, or unrelated jobs like machine operators or data entry clerks, etc.

At this point, considering that I liked programming in university with Matlab, C++, and Eclipse, I am thinking of switching career to web development by means of online, paid courses and possibly a boot camp, but, not having any degree or experience in web development discourages me as I read that it is very hard to find employment as a developer without a CS degree or experience.

What suggestions do you have for careers?

Also, any advice on how to start a career in software development with a non-CS background?

Thanks in advance
