My goal is to become financially stable by 25.. going for mba from good institute takes grasp on maths..which is bad in my case..I recently cleared CTET (eligibility exam on central level for government teaching jobs) I am confused..help!

Ans: As you are interested in teaching and have an aptitude for the same, continue in that line for a couple of years. See if you are interested in continuing in that line. If not then can do PG in HR to change the line at a later date.

Hello Sir, Here is my background - I have done MA Sanskrit. I started working in corporate in 2009. All my friends suggested that I should do MBA as it boosts career prospects. I did that alongwith it did Six Sigma also. As I love languages, I also did my B2 in German and based on that I got placed in Amazon and worked there for 2 years. I have in total 10 yrs of corporate experience in different fields like customer service, e commerce, language quality control etc. While I was working in corporate, I was also teaching Sanskrit and German to students for extra income. After pregnancy, I am full time into training Sanskrit and German taking online classes. As income is not fixed in teaching and as I have B2 German, some are saying me to switch back to corporate. I am confused - should I do Scrum master certification and work in corporate using my German language expertise or instead do B.ed- M.ed and work in teaching? I like to work in both fields, but for my age (36) and with a child, I find corporate jobs very hectic with targets and stuff I can go for teaching, but income is not good and fixed. I am confused please help.
Ans: The most preferred thing is peace of mind. So never go back to corporate. Out of stress you will be suffering. Let the income be less. Continue your Sanskrit and German teaching. Don't go for B.Ed and M.Ed. At this position peace of mind is more important than big earning. Best of luck. Just follow me. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor............:)

Ans: you are in duress. a relationship as defined by you is not worth being in one. please break off, block him from all our touchpoints - social media/ phone etc...if need be change your phone number. heal yourself, focus on your self, become financially independent, feel good about yourself before you find your person.
