As I can afford it with savings. Is it a good idea to start education again and graduate at 32.i'm confident I can complete the degree but Will I be able to get any job at 32 as fresher. I can't show experience for those 10 years because I worked in physical labour jobs which won't have any proofs.or should I just continue working in small jobs and grow in those jobs. Pls help me I'm interested in software field

Ans: Hello Sai, Good to learn about your motivation to puruse a career in software after obtaining a BTech degree. I hope you have brushed up your school leaving level mathematics. For me to get you speciific details do sahre the name of the city where you are located. Many States will permit you to enrol for an engineering degree program as an exception even though you may not be eligible for a Joint Engineering Entrance Exam. Looking forward to hearing for you soon.

Career

I cleared my 12th this year. My exam didn't go too will because of health conditions. I gave addmission exam for Newton school of technology and Nxtwave institute of advanced technology. I cleared both but fees of Newton is too high even after scholarship. Therefore i chose NAIT affiliated with Vivekananda Global University in jaipur. Ultimately in CSE field skills matter more than any degree so is it a right decision? Please reply asap. My family is against sending me to other place to study but I am very much dedicated towards my career so I am fighting for it.

Ans: Hello Princy.
Drop the idea of Newton School of Technology. There is no harm in going with Vivekanand @ Jaipur. Focus on your studies and communicate closely with your parents about what you think.
Good luck!
