Career

Helo sir, I want to do Bachelor in pharmacy...can I persue a job in medicine companies like cipla, mankind etc?

Ans: Hi,

I’m not sure where you are located, but I wanted to share my thoughts. After completing a Bachelor's degree, it's common to start with a lower salary during the initial period. It may take some time before you reach a frontline position. Therefore, I recommend pursuing a Master's degree before entering the job market. You will definitely find opportunities with reputable companies, including multinational pharma companies.

Remember, having a degree alone is not enough; you also need to acquire relevant skills.

Wishing you all the best!

Question by pankaj - Jul 15, 2025Hindi

Money

I have 135000 income, Out of which 55k goes to Home loan (23 years pending), 22k goes to personal loan emi, 3000 mf, 8000 in lic(5 years), 4000 in Debt fund (12 years from now) PPF yearly 1 lac, 10 lac worth Health insurance for family with 14000 per annum ( increase 5% per annum) I already have 1cr Term insurance for which I paid 75000 per annum in last 5 years and Since August no payment to be done. I am a sole earner of Family of 5 members. Kindly guide me if there are any changes to be done in my financial planning considering 10 years horizon If I want to close my Home loan as quickly as possible.

Ans: Hey Pankaj, please revisit your decisions for LIC policy, debt fund, PPF investments since these are not investments that you do to create wealth, they will not give you apt returns to beat inflation. Please close your personal loan as soon as possible since that must be on at a very high interest rate. As far as investments are concerned, there is not enough details here for me to give apt advice to you about your situation, please visit www.slwealthsolutions.com if you are interested to have a detailed conversation.
