My son is 23 yrs old Engineering 1st yr drop out,doing YouTube,earned 15 lakhs till now But last 2 yrs he doesn't got earnings I am concerned about his career and future What to do He doesn't want to study either Please help

Ans: It sounds like your son has demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit and creativity through his YouTube endeavors, which is commendable. However, I understand your concerns about his future and career stability, especially considering the recent decline in earnings. Here are some suggestions to help support your son in navigating his career and future. Have an open and honest conversation with your son about your concerns regarding his career and future. Express your support and willingness to help him explore alternative paths that align with his interests and strengths. Encourage your son to explore his interests and consider alternative career options beyond YouTube. Help him identify his skills, passions, and values to find potential career paths that could offer long-term stability and fulfillment. Encourage your son to continue developing his skills, both within the realm of content creation and in other areas that could enhance his career prospects. This could involve learning new skills through online courses, workshops, or hands-on experience in different industries. Discuss the importance of financial planning and budgeting with your son, especially during periods of fluctuating income. Help him create a financial plan to manage his earnings effectively, save for the future, and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. Encourage your son to network with professionals in various fields and seek mentorship from individuals who have achieved success in their respective careers. Networking can provide valuable insights, opportunities, and guidance for career development. While your son may not be interested in traditional higher education, there are alternative education options such as vocational training programs, online courses, or specialized certifications that can provide valuable skills and credentials for specific career paths. If your son is passionate about entrepreneurship, support his efforts to explore new business ideas, ventures, or collaborations that leverage his skills and interests. Encourage him to learn from both successes and failures and to embrace the entrepreneurial journey as a learning experience. Ultimately, it's important to support your son in finding a career path that aligns with his interests, values, and goals while also helping him develop the necessary skills and resilience to navigate challenges and achieve long-term success and fulfillment. Your encouragement, guidance, and support can play a crucial role in helping him shape his future positively.

Ans: Pravin Sir,

Addition to electronic gadgets is one of the problems, some parents face nowadays.

First of all, approach a good Professional / Qualified Student Counsellor along with your son in your locality. Make sure, the Counsellor has Psychology Background also. There might be some changes. If needed, you can approach a Psychologist, having specialised knowledge in Counselling the children of your son's age.

Follow-up counselling sessions with the counsellors are also important until he changes his attitude.

If possible, visit his college and request for couselling your son. Almost all colleges have counsellors who can help.

Some other tips:

1) Tell him, he also can become YouTuber. But ask him what plans he has to become a YouTuber?
2) Switching off WiFi & being authoritarian will not work.
3) Communicate or interact with him politely whenever possible.
4) Tell him he can use his mobile but, at the same time should focus on his studies as well.
5) Make sure, atmosophere at home is good. Such as, parents also should avoid spending too much time on Electronic Gadgets. Most of the children imitate only their parents.
6) If possible, tell him to participate in physical activities as well.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
