Hi Tom,
Graduates from mechanical field are mainly employed in manufacturing firms.
A. One can seek employment in private or public sector industries of various types.
B. One can also find job in government departments such as:
2.1 CPWD.
2.2 Defense.
2.3 PWD.
2.4 Posts and Telegraphs.
C. Other sectors such as:
3.1 Electronics.
3.2 Chemical.
3.3 Power Plants.
3.4 Steel Plants.
3.5 Agricultural.
3.6 Space Research Institutes.
3.7 Automobile and Aeronautical
3.8 As well as the railways, need Mechanical Engineers to design and maintain their machinery.
With postgraduate degree or with additional management degree one can find work in Executive and Managerial positions. In Agricultural division, Mechanical Engineers play a major role by establishing service centers for maintenance of:
1. Pump Sets.
2. Tractors.
3. Electric Motors.
4. Oil Engines and other agricultural equipment.
D. One can also opt for teaching jobs in Universities and Colleges.
Salary depends on various parameters such as:
i. Size of the Organization.
ii. Profile.
iii. Qualification.
iv. Experience, etc.
But still to give you a brief idea:
1. Engineers working in Government departments can earn around Rs.8, 000 to Rs.15, 000 every month at beginner level while at superior level it might go up to more than Rs.20, 000 every month.
2. Professors and Lecturers of technical colleges are getting as fixed by UGC.
3. In private companies, their salaries are fairly high ranging from Rs.30, 000 to Rs.60, 000 depending upon qualification and experience.
4. Consultancy job in mechanical engineering is also a highly lucrative career path. Consultants are earning handsome salary depending upon number and nature of clients they have.

Hi Gunjan,
Keeping today's industrial progress in mind the industry is biased only to those with good academic knowledge and practical skill set. I do not see any problem in opting for a career in this field but as for the physical strength is concerned, yes you would require high concentration levels along with physical and mental strength. Also mechanical is a huge engineering domain and is not just restricted to automobiles so one can look for various other options to choose as a career.
Along with your engineering, you can also take up CAD/ CAM courses, you may refer to the following link:
