Career

Hi, I am 50 years old. I started my career in IT startups after completing my PG in Computer Applications. I worked for around 2 years in different companies. There was a 4-year gap after my marriage. Then, I worked as a computer teacher in a private school for 10 years, followed by 4 years as an online coding tutor. I have financial liabilities, and now I want to pursue a course to change my career. Considering my interest in IT and my experience in teaching, I am confused about which course to take. I am torn between two options: whether I should pursue a B.Ed. course to earn more salary in teaching, or follow my passion and take a certificate course in AI. However, I am unsure if I will be able to secure a job in IT with limited experience in the field. Age is also a factor in both options, but given my financial liabilities, I feel it's a "do or die" situation. Please help.

Ans: Certificate course in AI WITH YOUR PRESENT JOB IS BETTER. CODING JOB MARKET IS EVERGREEN.

Hi, am 28yr old mother from kerala. Due to personal issues i could only finish my studies till +2. Now am willing to continue my studies but confused about what to choose. Should i take degree or anyother courses ?
Ans: Choose a field that genuinely interests you and aligns with your passions. Consider how much time you can dedicate to your studies and whether you need flexibility due to personal commitments. Afterward think about what kind of job or career you envision for yourself and what qualifications are necessary for that path.

1-Skill Development Programs:
Vocational Training: If you're interested in a particular trade or skill, vocational training programs can provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge.

Government Schemes: Look into government initiatives and skill development programs in India that support education and training for various sectors.

2-Diploma and Certificate Courses:
Short-Term Courses: If you prefer a quicker route to enter the workforce or gain specific skills, consider diploma or certificate courses. These can be in various fields such as IT, healthcare, accounting, and more.

Online Courses: Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udemy offer a wide range of online courses that you can take at your own pace. These are great for upskilling in specific areas without committing to a full degree program.

3-Bachelor's Degree: If you're looking for a comprehensive education and a recognized qualification, pursuing a bachelor's degree could be beneficial. It can open up a wide range of career opportunities and provide a solid foundation in your chosen field.

Distance Learning: Many universities offer distance learning programs, allowing you to study from home and manage your time around your personal commitments.

Based on your preference you can opt from above.

Hello Sir, Here is my background - I have done MA Sanskrit. I started working in corporate in 2009. All my friends suggested that I should do MBA as it boosts career prospects. I did that alongwith it did Six Sigma also. As I love languages, I also did my B2 in German and based on that I got placed in Amazon and worked there for 2 years. I have in total 10 yrs of corporate experience in different fields like customer service, e commerce, language quality control etc. While I was working in corporate, I was also teaching Sanskrit and German to students for extra income. After pregnancy, I am full time into training Sanskrit and German taking online classes. As income is not fixed in teaching and as I have B2 German, some are saying me to switch back to corporate. I am confused - should I do Scrum master certification and work in corporate using my German language expertise or instead do B.ed- M.ed and work in teaching? I like to work in both fields, but for my age (36) and with a child, I find corporate jobs very hectic with targets and stuff I can go for teaching, but income is not good and fixed. I am confused please help.
Ans: The most preferred thing is peace of mind. So never go back to corporate. Out of stress you will be suffering. Let the income be less. Continue your Sanskrit and German teaching. Don't go for B.Ed and M.Ed. At this position peace of mind is more important than big earning. Best of luck. Just follow me. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor............:)

I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.
Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.
