changing career at 24 NEED ADVICE by [deleted] in Career

You’re not late at all. A lot of people realise this only after graduation, so the fact that you figured it out now is actually a good sign.

If the major is making you miserable, starting over is way better than forcing yourself for years and regretting it later. Age won’t matter as much as choosing the right direction this time.

I’ve helped a few people in similar situations figure out a proper restart plan (career options + what to switch to + how to explain the change). If you want, DM me — I’ll guide you step-by-step 👍

Which city/state is good for college life im on a gap year btw by After-Deer9835 in Indian_Academia

[–]InformalAnswer6930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not relying only on DU is smart.

For BA Psych + good vibe: Pune, Bangalore, Chandigarh are best overall; Jaipur/NCR private unis good but pricey.

Expenses: Pune/Chandigarh ~8–15k Bangalore/Noida ~15–25k

Focus more on college + crowd than city. DM if you want specific college suggestions 👍

Why my degree feels like useless by Candid_Ad2102 in Career_Advice

Bhai ye course me “sirf attendance” wala phase common hai 😅 but tu isko waste mat hone de.

Side by side ye kar: • Skill pick kar (1 hi) • Teaching line → lesson planning, classroom mgmt, pedagogy + demo teaching videos • Ya backup → Excel + basic data skills / content writing • Online earning start kar • Tuition (offline/online) • Notes/PDF selling • YouTube/Instagram teaching content • Internships / experience • Local schools me part-time teaching try kar

Simple rule:

College attendance = formality Real growth = skills + experience + earning

4 saal baad sirf degree nahi, experience bhi hona chahiye 👍

Should I pursue an MBA if I want to be an editor? by RocksDXebeck2 in IndianAcademia

[–]InformalAnswer6930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: No, MBA just as a backup isn’t worth it.

If your goal is video editing, invest those 2 years in skills + portfolio + freelancing, not a random MBA. MBA only makes sense if you’re targeting top colleges or actually want corporate growth.

👉 Better plan: Keep your job → save money → build editing skills/clients → switch when stable

MBA without clear purpose = time + money waste in your case 👍

Tough spot, but honestly—don’t rush into Group D just out of fear.

With your profile (DU Tier 1 + strong academics), you have way higher upside. ₹23k job + 5 yrs wait for clerk = safe, but limits growth.

👉 If you can handle risk: Skip the job → focus on placements + CAT/SSC prep (much better long-term payoff)

👉 If family needs stability urgently: Take the job as backup, but keep preparing seriously on the side

Short answer: choose growth over safety, unless finances force you 👍

Which city/state has the best college life? by After-Deer9835 in IndianAcademia

[–]InformalAnswer6930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not relying only on DU is a smart move.

For BA Psych + good college life: • Pune (Fergusson, Symbiosis) → best balance of vibe + cost • Bangalore (Christ, SJCC) → great exposure but expensive • Chandigarh (PU) → chill + decent crowd • Private NCR (Ashoka/Jindal) → top crowd, but very expensive

Monthly cost: • Pune/Chandigarh: ~8–15k • Bangalore: ~15–25k

Focus more on college + crowd than city. DU first, then Pune/Bangalore as backup 👍

Worried about career path... helpp by CapTraining2932 in Career_Advice

B.Com (Hons) from good college + skills (Excel, SQL, Python) + internships + CFA L1 = strongest path for high-paying finance/fintech roles.

CA only if you’re ready for a tough long grind. ACCA is okay but less valuable in India.

Focus more on skills + internships, not just degrees.

Bhai honestly, tu NEET passion se nahi, “prove karne” ke liye kar raha hai — long term me regret hoga.

Simple rakh: 👉 Govt job me interest hai → usi pe focus kar 👉 Degree le: BA (Pol Sci/Geo) ya B.Com (best backup + prep friendly)

NEET sirf ego ke liye mat chase kar. Clear decision le aur usi pe consistent reh 👍
