Ans: It sounds like you're facing a lot of pressure and frustration regarding your career and future direction. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed when dealing with family expectations, job dissatisfaction, and uncertainty about your career path. Here are some suggestions to help you navigate this challenging situation in the future. Have open and honest conversations with your family about your feelings, aspirations, and concerns regarding your career. Express your need for support and understanding as you navigate your career journey. Explain your reasons for considering government job preparation or entrepreneurship, and discuss how your family can support you in pursuing your goals. Once you've clarified your goals and explored your options, take proactive steps to move forward. This may involve updating your resume, researching government job requirements, or developing a business plan for your entrepreneurial venture. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps and take consistent action towards achieving them. Remember that progress takes time, and setbacks are a natural part of the journey. It's essential to prioritize your well-being and mental health during this challenging time. Take time for self-care activities that help you relax, recharge, and maintain balance in your life. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals if you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope with stress. Research different career paths, including government job opportunities, entrepreneurship, and other alternatives. Consider the pros and cons of each option, as well as the potential challenges and opportunities they present.

Ans: Hello

Please note no other person can provide answer....you have to define your own path and walk that.

Suggest you ask yourself what is it that energies you...what is that where inspite of pain you will keep working...what is that where even if you don't see immediate results...you would keep pursuing...

Initially it will be confusing...there won't be clarity...but one the period of time you will find your own answers. Be patient.

All the best
