I am 22 and have completed by b.com from tier 3 clg and still have not passed ca intermediate after 3 attemptes and for not showing gap yr in my profile i enrolled for mcom from same clg .I am confused shall I stop preparing for ca or look for a job and after that go for mba or should i switch my stream bcoz i have interest in graphic design and data analysis stuff?

Ans: Leave further attempt for CA, three attempts are more than enough. The level of college is not very important. Your knowledge, presentation and performance will matter. You can leave M.Com also. But if you are in second year then please complete it. Go for an online MBA in finance or IT. If you switch your stream from commerce to Data Analysis then do the MBA in IT and go for a certification course of AI & Machine Learning. Never it is too late. You are only 22, which is a rising sun. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY, NOT HARD WORK. DO SMART WORK. I am always there with you. Do as I told you.
Be in touch with me, follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN also. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I counselled thousands of students. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor............................:)

Hi I started my CA at the age of 23.5 along with job , and I eventually managed to cleared group 1 of ca inter May 2024 and for second group I gave jan 25 attempt but failed due do poor marks in cost , this wan an first attempt , but now I skipped may 25 attempt because I was not clear shoup I gave one more attempt or not but I didn't, I quit my job due to study but result doesn't came well and i am considering to prepare for govt job while doing job , I lf I prepare for ca it will take 28 If from there I managed to clear infirst attempt , I may be feeling that while working and preparing govt is better decision. Shoul I continued my CA journey or should I quit it , any suggestions please
Ans: At a career crossroads, it's crucial to consider your priorities and interests, such as passion for CA and interest in government jobs. The time and effort required for CA exams or SSC, UPSC, and Banking Exams, should be considered. Financial considerations should also be taken into account, as if FINANCIAL STABILITY is a priority, returning to a job while preparing for a government exam might be a safer option. Alternative approaches include a hybrid approach, switching fully to government jobs for stability, structured work, and benefits, or trying one more CA attempt if you still have the motivation and confidence. If you're passionate about CA and believe you can clear it with focused effort, give it another chance. If you're unsure and more inclined towards job security, it's practical to shift towards government job preparation while working. Commit to your decision fully and avoid constantly second-guessing. All the best for your prosperous future!
