Hello sir, My self shantanu kumar singh I want your suggestion on my career. how I can do best in my career. I have completed (2017)diploma in mechanical engineering after 10th and after that preparing for government exam for 1 year but I quit because of financial condition. After that working in private sector. Working in private sector i want to complete my graduation so I am interested in IT sector . And that's why I take a admission on BCA program. It is online education. So I do both work and study simultaneously. What your suggestion on this ,plz provide your valuable guidance to me it's very helpful for me and my career.
Ans: Yes, I will give you the best advice. You have done correct thing. Since you did diploma after 10th you don't have graduation. So the best thing you did is to take online admission in BCA. Just complete it and after that do one online MBA in IT and do a very good certification course in DATA SCIENCE from some institute which is having collaboration with some IIT. It will cost you approx 80-90 thousand rupees. You are in right track. So you will be a BCA + MBA with a certification course in Data Science along with AI cum Machine Learning. Before joining the DATA SCIENCE course for two months learn and practise coding by viewing different good videos in YOU TUBE. You will have a very bright future, rest leave it to me. Follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN for having permanent counselling from time to time. Best of luck. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor................:)

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
