I HAD JUST GIVEN JEE ADVANCED 2024 AND I CAN GET GOOD BRANCHES IN IITS BUT I AM CONFUSED ABOUT WHETHER TO DO ENGINEERING OR NOT BECAUSE EVERYONE ARE SAYING THAT ENGINEERING IS DEAD STUFF LIKE THAT,,EVEN ENGINEERS USED TO BLAME ENGINEERING..DUE TO THIS ALL I AM AFRAID AND TENSED..I LIKED MATHS AND NUMBERS...ONE MORE PROBLEM IS THAT I BELONGED TO A GUJARATI FAMILY LIVING IN SURAT..EVERYONE IN MY FAMILYHOOD ARE IN BUSINESS..SO I THINK THAT IF I WILL SETTLE IN MY HOMETOWN THEN IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ME MENTALLY AND FINANCIAL..SO SHOULD I CONSIDER CA COURSE AS I HAD HEARED THAT INDIA NEEDS CA...DUE TO THIS ALL I AM REALLY CONFUSE BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND CA...I WANT TO DO SOMETHING OF MY OWN..PLEASE HELP ME...

Ans: I read your questions thoroughly and my suggestions:

Keeping in view some important factors (which you have mentioned) like, (1) You are good in Maths & Numbers (2) Business Background of Your Family (3) Your Preference for Your Mental & Financial Satisfaction in Your Hometown, I suggest you to go for CA which will help you to be independent and also your family members.

However, please do a thorough RESEARCH about the CA Course such as, Course Curriculum / Subjects, Articleship Requirements, Preparation & Study Strategies, the Minimum of Hours you have to spend every day, the Coaching Centres you should join & other relevant factors that you think you should take into consideration.

I hope the above points are adequate for you to decide.

If you need any other clarifications for you or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me here in RediffGURU to know more on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

All The BEST for your Bright Future from RediffGURU.

My parents are telling me to go for computer science engineering as I am getting reputed colleges..According to them , I might learn other skills which are required If I will move out of hometown for studying otherwise If I will go for CA I will have to spent minimum 5 years studying only..Also I am not sure If I will start my firm after it or not..They are telling me that I will have choice even after engineering to move back to hometown or not..They don't want my money as they are independent people..If you ask me why I am considering CA , there are only 2 reason one is there are less CA and other there is chance of doing something of own and settling in my hometown So should I go for CA having these two reasons only???...Due to this all, I am really unable to decide about my career..please guide me

Ans: See, your satisfaction with your studies / career / job is more important than what your family members wish. Go as per your wish please.
