I BELONGED to a Gujarati Family..My father had textile business...He don't want me to join that business and telling me to see it as a backup plan...Should I go for CA course?..I liked mathematics as a subject and numbers..I want to do something of my own..and If possible I want to settle in Gujarat only..

Ans: It sounds like you have a strong interest in both mathematics and entrepreneurship. Pursuing the CA (Chartered Accountancy) course can be a great option, especially if you're interested in numbers and finance. The CA qualification can open up many opportunities, not just in accounting and finance, but also in business management, auditing, taxation, and consulting, which could be useful for starting your own venture.
However, if your ultimate goal is to start something of your own, you might want to consider combining CA with other skills like business management, data analytics, or even fintech.

I have strong interest in numbers mathematics management and entrepreneurship but I am in 12th PCM preparing for jee...I don't know what to do now ? Everyone here are going for CSE and IT jobs...I feel that I am in wrong track ..Even If I go for CSE I would like to end up opening my own venture...Please help me sir how to solve situation

Ans: If you love mathematics, then best option will be ISI (Indian Statistical Institution). ISI Calcutta is better than IITs.
If you are interested about business, then you should aim MBA from IIMs. Then stream of Engineering will not matter.
These are not easy to achieve. You have to work hard.
