Career

Hello Mayank. My son is in 12th studying commerce. He wants to pursue B.com. In addition to B.com kindly suggest a good course in statistics or Data analysis which he pursue with B.com. He is interested to study in India only.

Ans: Hi Shraddha, it is great to see yo have such clarity and support your son by upskilling. Combining B.Com with a course in statistics or data analysis will open up a wide range of career opportunities in finance, marketing, business analytics, and more. Encourage your son to choose a program that aligns with his interests and career goals. Practical experience through internships or projects can further enhance his learning and employability.
Data analytics is a sought-after skill and has a growing industry demand. Your son can explore professional certifications, diploma courses and bootcamps which are available on online education and skilling providers, offering the flexibility to pursue upskilling while completing his degree.
Additionally, with the growing importance of artificial intelligence, a course in generative AI could provide valuable insights into how AI can be leveraged in various business contexts. Opt for a course that offers practical and versatile skills that can significantly complement B.Com studies and broaden his career opportunities.

We have also built a very integrated Data Science portfolio at upGrad with relevant certifications and bootcamps. You might want to check them out: https://www.upgrad.com/data-science-course/

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
