I wanna know what are the different between specialize of civil engineering
- Construction Management
- Geo technical (required very high atar)

which will provide the best job prospect&salary ?

Ps. As I am an international student, will this effect when apply for a job ?
will it be more difficult to get a job then the local student ?

Construction is engineering during the construction process like the trucks that should be used or the noise from the construction, geotechnical is looking at stuff under the ground like foundations and sub grades for pavements, structural is looking at forces in beams and other things required to keep a structure staying up.

They all have good job prospects but geotechnical is the highest paying.

It is harder to get a job as an international student because of issues with visas and working rights and stuff.

so basically Geotechnical is like mining engineering ? focus only rock and soil?
so i can't build or take a project about the building ?

You can, buildings need foundations.
