I am a 48 yr old pathologist, MBBS,MD working in Govt Medical College for the last 20 years.I feel stagnated and stuck up as I have lost interest in my subject.Please advise regarding va career change.

Ans: Even though a career switch from a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering to Data Science represents a transition that aligns with the growing interdisciplinary nature of modern research and industry I am of the view that you need to build on your years of academic experience in Mechanical Engineering by leveraging your doctorate in Data Science to further your career as a researcher professor in academia by contributing to cutting-edge research, guiding students, and shaping the field through your expertise.
Also explore consulting assignments in companies, especially in engineering and manufacturing, to help them use data science for optimization, predictive maintenance, and process improvement.
By wearing a Data Scientist in Engineering or Manufacturing hat marry your mechanical engineering background with data science skills look for roles that involve analyzing and optimizing engineering processes, designing experiments, and leveraging data for product development.
These are just two out of a host of options that you could explore by helping your university to build strong consulting practice and let your client see value and pay the top dollar. When that happens, the University will find ways to compensate your fairly for your value add.

Ans: Hello

All options are available, depending upon your risk taking abilities and the skills that you have, all three options are equally good.

All the best.

Ans: VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR JOB IN THIS WORLD. BECAUSE FOR MORE MONEY THEY JUMP INTO OTHER SECTORS. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY. FIRST YOU FIX YOUR PATH (ONLY ONE) AND AFTER THAT CONTACT ME. BEST OF LUCK. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...............................:)

Ans: Hi Shree,

From your query, everything looks perfect. I admire your dedication, especially how you’ve sacrificed your education for your mom. Hats off to you!

Once you decide to pursue your PG, you’ll need to go through the necessary process. So don’t worry; you can complete the tasks in a short time. If you find yourself feeling stuck due to your work schedule and stress, I recommend trying to relax by doing the following:

- Practice meditation
- Hire freshers or interns on a part-time basis

These two steps should be sufficient to help you move forward.
Best of Luck.
