hi /adv/. i graduated from mechanical engineer in dec 2015, and just until jan 2016 i got a job in an internship in a telecom company. the things they're teaching me there are boring, i dont like it. but the pay is really good. then, i would also like to learn other stuff, more in line with my prefession, and from what i know about my future activities on this company, it is certain that i will not ever put my knowledge in ME into practice.
should i leave this job and pursue another one that is more in line with what i studied? (i like design, project management, materials, construction..) or should i wait until the 1 year telecom internship ends this december and then leave? how much do you think waiting would affect my future employability? i dont know what to do right now. advice would be appreciated, and sorry for my bad english.

Choice is much safer for those with financial reserves, and the nature of a Job is usually doing (some) things you don't like for pay.
Maybe you can find a job that you less dislike, but I don't think you should just drop your first money source so early before you have a decent reserve of money.
start looking for jobs this fall, stay and finish out what you started.
It can be a good reference in the future, and quitting could give the impression that you may quit at where you're applying the moment you find something else.

keep your job and also look for another while employed. Don't give your two week notice until you sign a contract with your new employer.
