Question by SS - Dec 23, 2021Hindi

Hi. Myself SS. I am 25, working in a CA firm in Assam. I am not a graduate. I have studied three years in BCom but couldn’t pass and now that it has been two years, I don’t feel like completing it. My teachers and everyone in that institution said I won’t be able to find a job because I am not a graduate, even though I have worked in three companies. But the stipend was not good enough. I think my experience and skills are enough for me to find a job and I feel I should make a fake degree or photoshop just to add on my CV. I am very tense regarding my career as I am not from a good financial family. I wanted to do something else but because of money problems I couldn’t. That made me angry and I wasted my three years of BCom. Please suggest what I should do. Thank you.

Ans:

You should definitely complete your graduation as that is the basic requirement for any decent job in a good company.

Also, do not forge any documents as, these days, all good organisations do reference checks and you would be caught. Something like this would lead to the loss of your current and future jobs.
