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.

And, I did my BE in the year 2014 and since then I was preparing for UPSC civil services and even appeared in the interview but unfortunately didn’t tasted the success and join this industry on this basis. Whereas, I am got stagnated here and not getting much in term of salary or career growth and looking forward for doing MBA to switch my career field to analytics/Finance. I did Master in Public Administration in distance mode while I was preparing because this was my optional. Previous month, I took admission in Executive MBA from IIT Patna but unfortunately, its substandard in terms of quality and learning. I have certain doubts, Please let me help to come to the conculsion. Shall I go with the Full time MBA at 32 age by giving CAT/GMAT? Shall I opt for executive MBA from IIMs like Indore, Kashipur etc, here I have concern related to placements, considering 12 Lakh Fee? Shall I do 1 year full time PGP at IIM Indore, ISB or any good institutions for the change? Or shall I opt for CFA/FRM along with my IIT Patna Executive MBA? I am way behind my collogues and even not settled due to my UPSC unsuccessful attempts, I need to switch the filed. Please revert and help me out tin clearing my dilemma, I am really very confused right now.,
Ans: It is advisable to write GMAT and try to do Executive MBA from one of the good IIMs or XLRI. These colleges do have good placements and it could help your career. Usual requirement for these courses is minimum 5 years of work experience

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............:)
