Hello sir, I am 40 yr old MBA (sales&marketing) graduate having 5 yrs of work-experience in customer support/service, BFSI sector and 5 yrs in product sales and marketing. However, lately I was suffering from some health issues so I couldnt work for a year or so. Now I am healthy and fine and ready to work again. However, I dont want to go back to the same work-profile.Nowadays, I keep thinking of any new course which I can do which can enhance my skill-set. I am interested in pursuing CFP program since I have interest in finance and investment related fields. Is it a good option at this stage and age? Will I get a good job after course completion? Will I be able to practise independently as a freelancer too, If I wish to? Kindly advise. Thanks

Ans: If you get integrated Ph.D programme in USA you can go for it and after completion of 32 credits you can exit also with MS degree. If you pursue MS then I would recommend only MS. Be in my LINKEDIN list for having permanent counselling many times in future. If you get Ph.D (integrated) then certainly don't go for Masters. I will be always showing you the correct path. There is hidden fire within you, I will only add a spark to ignite it which will take you to a great height.Bye and best wishes. Professor

Ans: I won't recommend you to go for ESG certification unless you are having a background of Env. Engg and Environmental Impact Assessment. The certificate course of ESG is costly also. I would request you to open your own academy ( if off line not possible then online) and go for only one subject. Let me know your age.Focus only on one subject. You have explored many areas and now you are perplexed. Here the questions are assigned to me through rediffmail.

Ans: I can understand your situation, very much frustrating. But there is no point in lamenting over the spilt milk. Like you many candidates lost 4-6 years for UPSC. Now don't be hopeless. Here the questions are assigned to us. I suggest you to join me in LINKEDIN, where I can take care of you time to time. Mind that no exam is the last exam of your life. Let me know your age and then I will give you further counselling. Send me request in LINKEDIN. Best of luck. I am there for you. No worries.

Ans: Since you are a diploma you are not graduate. So I would advise you to go for an online BBA along with you job. It will take three years. After that go for online MBA. It will take another two years. Keep your job and you may switch to other companies. Within five years you will be a post graduate with another five years experience. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent relation and counselling. In REDIFF the questions are assigned to us. But in LINKEDIN you can directly contact me. Never be depressed. I am there for you. Best of luck.

Ans: First answer is YEs. But if you apply only to university of Melbourne then risk will be there, because every university has a certain acceptance norms. So being an expert I would advise you to apply to atleast three universities.

Ans: Who told you to switch over to IT? What is your basic degree? I think it must be Mechanical/Production. You left your own stream and in IT sector it is an everchanging field. By the time a students complete his B.Tech the market demand is changed. You must have gone to IT for more money, but the ultimate result is there is a mental break down. Decision makes a man, not hard work. Decisions Decide Destiny. Now first think whether you want to be in IT or again come back to production or not. Join me in LINKEDIN, I have more than twenty thousand followers. Hope I will be able to counsel you again. Because here you can't contact me directly.

Ans: Truly speaking you can't expect much. First thing is that how India will consider the Master degree of Australia is not known to anyone. Even if an American MS comes after ten years of experience he/she will never get the desired and required treatment, hike and salary. India is flooded with Data Science professionals and bodies like Intellipaat are giving certificate in Data Science with collaboration with Chennai IIT or Roorkee IIT. Secondly the reputation of your Australian university is also a major factor. I think you can't expect much. Best of Luck.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are assuming that your lady-friend liked you romantically; she could've considered you a good friend- good friends can have coffee together too. Maybe the reason she blocked you is that you misread the relationship and even discussed it with someone in the office. And since you mentioned you have a wife and she has health issues as well, how do you think things would have worked out between you and your lady friend, even if you knew for a fact that she is interested in you? I suggest you move on from this and also consider opening up to your wife about how the lack of intimacy in your marriage is pushing you to look for the same feelings outside.

Best Wishes.
