Career

Hi Sushil, my daughter is doing her Graduation in Psychology Hons and Research from Amity University Kolkata. She wishes to pursue higher education in Psychology for doing Masters and subsequent Doctorate abroad. Post completion of Master and Doctorate. Pls suggest for best options. Also should she settle abroad post studies or does India have better career options in Psychology in the near future? kindly suggest. Tanushyam Kanjilal

Ans: Hi Tanushyam,

Thank you for reaching out. It’s great to hear that your daughter is pursuing her graduation in Psychology and research at Amity University Kolkata.

Pursuing a Master’s and Doctorate from prestigious universities abroad, like UC Berkeley and King’s College London, would provide her with specialized courses in areas like clinical and corporate psychology, along with valuable research opportunities. These institutions also have a higher demand for psychologists, which can lead to faster career progression and global exposure.

While career options in India are growing, studying abroad can offer a broader range of opportunities. She should also consider attending international conferences to build networks and explore internships.

Ultimately, the decision depends on her career goals, preferred work environment, and the opportunities available to her after completing her studies.

I wish her all the best in her academic journey!

I am a 45 year old man. My problem is that I can't look people in the eye and talk. My strict upbringing may have made me an unnecessarily polite and timid person. I cannot exercise my authority at work when necessary. How do I get out of this personality?

Ans: it is great you know you need to work on yourself - join public speaking sessions, work on your confidence , know that saying a no is not being rude - this will require you to do a lot of reflection and talking to yourself - all the best.

Hi Sir, My Son is studying in 11th std with PCMCs and preparing both for NATA and CET. He was an average student in tenth scoring 55%, we are hoping for better performance in his 12th board. Currently we are staying in Bangalore. We need your suggestion in choosing between BArch or BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical). Which one will be better for him in difficulty level, fee structure, future job prospects and if he wants to Masters, whether he can continue in India or abroad. If abroad which countries or university are good for him for masters. Thank you

Ans: In B.Arch difficulty level is less but he must be good in drawing. A candidate who is bad in drawing can't be an Architect, even if he becomes he will fail in professional life. BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical) needs good knowledge of Maths and Physics. From his 10th score it seems to be he is an below average student. Fee structure is mostly same in both. For Masters we can think afterwards, no question of long term planning. In abroad always USA is the best for Engineering. Best of luck. Regards.

What to say if my boyfriend asks who is more important to you , me or your friends? When I say everyone has some importance in life, he gets offended. What should I say

Ans: Ask him the reason or asking this question, what is his motive to ask this question. Your response to him is as it should be, but learn why did he ask you the question.

It is ok to ask questions, doing this will help you give apt responses. It also shows your investment in a discussion as this.

Im afarid to express my love to a women. She is very good looking and much more than that she had a good character. But the main problem arises is she is 171cm and I'm 165cm. I'm afraid may be I will get rejected. I love her so much. Should i I leave her and move on. And one thing also i don't even talk to her, I'm afraid to talk. Can you give some tips to talking also

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your concern but how will you know whether height is an issue for her until you go ahead and speak to her? If you are worried about confessing your feelings for her directly, it's best you take things slow. Anyways, people are more likely to take such confessions on a positive note if they know the person.

You can start with a Hi, followed by letting her know that you have seen her around quite a few times. You can ask her what she does, and other general questions. Don't do it all in a single day; try building rapport slowly. This way you won't be putting too much pressure on yourself or on her.

Best Wishes.
