I am 24 years old, no proper employment record, a 8 supply bcom degree that I couldn't finish in pandemic and thereafter while some of my friends got into private banks without clearing supply, i got rejected for a entry level job at HDFC citing it's mandatory to be graduate which demotivated me even more. Will it be good to finish BCOM after 6 years????, I use to help my friends getting familiar with the topics and clear their doubts but now I just feel like a gooner. I know 4 languages can write 3 not fluent in tamil. Call centre job was a best possible option but I develop a hearing issue whenever I use earphones already (so I avoid them) thus I'm skeptical about that. I write short fictional stories with a social message and been passionate about screenwriting. Where should I approach for a job. Should I put Bcom on my resume, like just completed/not (I didn't dropout of college) should I go tv channels. I know this is too much, hope you could give me an answer ????
