I have completed my civil engg from reputed govt college in 2016 and after that I went for gate coaching i got 35 marks in gate 2017. (I know this is not my best I can do better). After that I started preparing for technical govt exams. After one year some of my prelims were missing by .25 marks 2 marks that time I gave up. And started doing site internship to start my own civil engg consultancy firm. But I got one opportunity to do job as lecturer in polytechnic college so I started doing job at polytechnic college. After 6 months again I started doing studies and cleared mains of state 2019 PSCs Assistant engg. And missed rrb je post by 2 marks in mains. After that exam corona came and I couldn't keep myself on the track and one year again wasted. In 2021 March I have started preparing for prelims and cleared prelims and for mains exam I joined one online class named super 40 and already half syllabus was over at time.of joining so I started watching lectures and as lectures were lengthy and so much lectures were there so I couldn't do revision properly and I lost my self confidence due to that coaching and it was totally waste of money. Again that time it was time everyone was saying do software classes to get job and many of mine friends done those classes so I also joined one to get job and successfully wasted another 6 months. I don't know what to do now. I still feel that If I can study for another 5/6 months I can clear rrb je. In between I got offer of 25k per month as site engineer I denyed that. It's been 8 years since my degree and still. unemployed. Please help me out.
Ans: Dear Friend , When You are not focussed or keep on changing your plans , it is bound to happen. In these precious 8yrs you could have made your career in Civil Engg. However you wanted to start your consultancy or then wanted to try your hand in Govt Jobs or some times you tried your hand in teaching but quit the job. If you delay in taking a firm decision , even getting a job in your core field will be difficult. So get into a stable job and build you career.

My daughter is completed her 1 PUC and has started with 2nd PUC. In college they have started with CET coaching. She is a good swimmer and want to pursue water Polo and wants to go coaching in the morning. She tells 'I don't want to write CET. I don't want to pursue Engineering. I want to take up Marine Biology. I don't neet CET for that. I will study only for Board exam and pursue Swimming classes in the morning' We wanted her to take up CET to keep Engg as an option as Marine Biology is a niche field and might be difficult to land on a job as we have less scope in India She has made it clear if you force me i will not read and write exam without reading. Actually she is capable of writing CET, but she do not want to and she is not reading. Her focus is only on swimming
Ans: Hello Aruna.
If your daughter is passionate about swimming and water polo, encourage her to continue. Support her participation in national and international competitions. If she excels in these sports and obtains a valid certificate, she may secure a government job directly after graduation in the respective field. IIT Madras has even reserved two seats for sports candidates, meaning there is no need to take the JEE (Advanced). For more details, please visit the website: ugadmissions.iitm.ac.in/scope.
As a parent, your concerns are valid. If she fails to excel in her passion, what will happen to her future? It would be wise to suggest that she attempt the state-level CET entrance examination, even without preparation. Just ask her to submit the answer sheet with random answers. Even if she scores the minimum marks, she can still gain admission to a reputable engineering college through the management quota. If she is not willing to listen to you, it may be beneficial to take her for personal counseling. It raises the question of what she is doing with the remaining hours after spending one, two, or three hours swimming. If she is hesitant to join classes, consider hiring personal tutors to keep her engaged with the syllabus and studies. While a career in sports is possible, for many, it remains just a dream. The journey is quite challenging, and in most cases, strong political connections are needed to advance in sports. Your daughter might be unaware of this reality at a young age. It is advisable to explain these truths to her so that she understands the challenges ahead. Thank you.

Relationship
My age is 25 years and my boyfriend age is 29 years. I have boyfriend and we are dating for around 2 years, we are thinking about marriage. My family members love him and his family members love me. But the situation is like this that, my elder sister is getting divorce so it will take time atleast 4 years. But we can't wait for 4 years because my boyfriend is from gujarat. So in Gujarat, families dont wait for long but in my case my boyfriend and his family members waited for 2 years. Because my family members are saying when my elder sister will get married then after my marriage will come. and my family members are brain washing me and my boyfriend saying that first elder sister should get married if it takes times 6 years still u have to wait. My family members are pressurizing me alot. Infact I discuss and my boyfriend discuss with my family members about the situation but my family is not understanding and they are just pressurizing me alot and making my life hell. Even my elder sister is saying to me that my colleagues are not getting married why u have to get married soon. But my point is that I m not kid I m 25 years old and because of her I m suffering alot because if she cant get married I cant get married this wrong. And because of taht me and boyfriend are arguing alot in this. Like If i waited for my elder sister divorce plus her marriage it will take around 4 years. But I dont think so this is right because of my elder sister I m facing issues and thats wrong. Because i dont know whether after divorce she will get married or not. So because of her I m suffering alot. And the divorce procedure will take 4 - 6 years. Because we dont know that how much time will it take for my elder sisters divorce because she is not doing normal one she has cased a file against jiju so thats why it huge procedure. So that's why we think that we will do court marriage in next month. We both have a support from his family members. His family members are saying that do court marriage without knowing any ones relatives and once your family agrees within this year then its fine but if not then you come here next year and we will do marriage for both of you. So this is right?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You need to make a decision for yourself after looking at all the pros and cons. How are you going to be able to handle your parents once you make the decision to go ahead with the marriage?
Also, on your part, you are right in asking, how long do you need to wait?
Before making a decision, always think far ahead as to how your environment will react and how you are going to handle all of it.

All the best!
