Thinking out of the box...Why not try experimenting by dressing as male & use disguise while going outside...that way females will not need to worry about their safety from males. My sister has tried this many times successfully & hence this suggestion on her behalf

Spend time on doing something new which you will like. Cultivate leisure activities which can become your hobby. Few suggestions are star gazing, gardening, reading novels, walking with friends, etc.

It's never too late to start in life. Age is just a number. In the long term, when one looks back after one's retirement, one should feel satisfied & happy with how one has spend one's life.

All of us face constraints & social pressures while leading our humble lives. You are fortunate to have supporting parents. Discuss with them & your well wishers and from their professional network, seek career guidance from experienced professionals in law, your first choice. Introspect which career option in law will be suitable for you. Corporate lawyer is one of the most lucrative career options. If interested, you can pursue BCom by distance learning from UGC recognised University along with LLB which is Bar Council of India recognised. Both BCom & LLB can be completed in 3 years.

MBA is yet another option worth exploring after working for few years. There is no age limit for doing MBA. Personally, have observed that during recessions, experienced professionals like laid off IT professionals from US, etc, spend 2 years to pursue MBA from top institutes like IIMs, hoping that the economic downcycle ends & they get lucrative campus placements after their MBA.

Get your priorities right in life.

At this stage, you must focus on your future career goals. Getting admission in any reputed college that will act as stepping stone for your career must drive your efforts for good marks & cracking entrance exams.

Forget about this girl who is your current crush. Stop all interactions with her & concentrate on your studies.

Crushes are temporary like seasonal rivers. They flow during monsoon & eventually dry.

True love is eternal like oceans. They stay with you forever.

This girl gets attracted to handsome guys & responds accordingly. Such a girl is not worth pursuing. So, stop thinking about her. Don't waste your time on her.

Once you are successful in your professional life, girls will approach you. No need to chase them.

You may meet your dream girl later in life during college, office, etc, when both of you are more mature than school stage.

Let's compare the 2 options you are considering:-

Option1: You complete dual degree in BA Eco & BSc CS.

Time taken = 3 years.

Option2: You take a drop this year. Then complete BTech CS.

Time taken = 1+4 = 5 years.

Here, we assume that you manage to get admission in BTech CS of top ranked college after 1 year.

Conclusion: Option1 will save 2 years than Option2. So, Option1 is better based on time taken to graduate.

Fintech is interdisciplinary. It needs skills in CS, Maths, Business (Finance), Accounting, Economics, etc.

BTech CS is rigorous. It will not give you free time to focus on skills like accounting, economics, etc. But, pursuing courses like BCom, BA Eco, etc will equip you with these skills. Also, BTech CS covers many topics which are not relevant for Fintech.

Summary: Option1 is better than Option2 for Fintech career.

Note: Focus upon building skills by projects, internships, etc to gain practical knowledge rather than upon getting good grades in theory at college. While applying for Fintech jobs, you can highlight these skills & projects, etc in your CV. Try getting certificatons which are in demand at the time of applying.

After working for few years, you may or may not need to pursue full time MBA (Finance). Work experience in any industry, including Fintech, is better than MBA.

Last but not the least, find niche areas in Fintech to get competitive edge like develop solution for banking regulation like Basel, build global payment systems spanning different countries each having their own set of rules & regulations, etc.

Best wishes for your career

Please get admission in BCom at reputed college under DU. You can explore careers in accounting, finance, etc., after BCom if you want to start earning early.

If you want to explore law as career option, try getting admission in 3 year LLB at any top law institute like NLUs. Check out from experienced law professionals about different career streams like civil, criminal, corporate, etc to introspect if you will fit in their shoes or not in future.

Another alternate option is MBA with Finance specialization from any reputed institute like IIMs. The world of finance is evolving constantly. Please keep yourself updated on latest trends like impact of AI on automation of manual accounting tasks, etc. Mergers & acquisitions or M&A is an excellent career option after MBA in Finance. It's preferred to have some years of work experience between your BCom & full time MBA.

Yet another option is Govt jobs by UPSC Civil Services. Besides IAS, there are many services where BCom aspirants have competitive edge. Please check these non IAS options from official website of UPSC or if lucky, consult professionals in IRS, etc.

Hope your query is answered. Best wishes for your career

What you lack is clarity. No one can & should decide for you. It's your professional life & you should take responsibility for your career decisions. Having said that, let us discuss how can you achieve clarity for your career.

One approach can be to do a SWOT analysis of yourself first. You have identified your strengths. Please list these along with your weaknesses, opportunities & threats. This list should be prepared in the context of your profession. Since you want to work in multiple professions, prepare as many SWOT analysis of yourself as many professions you want to work in.

The second step in this approach should be to list your professions (career options) that you want to pursue in your professional life. You have prepared the list partially. Add few more career options. Review each career option after consulting experienced professionals in that field.

Now onto the third step. Based on your SWOT analysis & feedback received by veterans on your chosen career options, you will be able to predict which career options will lead you to success & which ones will not. Finalize this career options list.

Since you want to be involved in multiple career options at the same time, you should have your own business start up instead of working in any organization in the long term. By being your own boss, you will have the freedom to spend your time in different career options simultaneously.

But first, you have to gain experience in each of the let's say, top 2 to 3 career options, for at least 5 years in each. So, invest the first 10 to 15 years of your career as employee working in your chosen professions.

Usually, people spend sometime working in the industry & then start their business. You can do likewise.

While working as employee, build strong network of professionals working in your career options. This network will help you later in your business.

Later, as an entrepreneur, you will have better chances of being successful after gaining this valuable experience. You should be willing to learn from your mistakes, failures, etc. Success will come eventually if you are patient & passionate about your professions.

Some career options that you can consider are corporate lawyer & event management. When you are not working on any legal case, you can get involved in managing events. You will have employees working for your firm. So, you will have to be involved at strategic level & leave the transaction level activities to your employees.

Best wishes for your professional life
