Im 28 years old married workings as an electrical maintenance engineer from last 5 years. As maintenance field is very demanding and very less work life balance. Im thinking of switching my work filed Please guide me what should i do?

Ans: Switching over to any other field at 28 year old married person is not only risky but also needs meticulous planning for right career options and a lot of patience. Besides, you will have to struggle a lot to settle in the new field in which case also, work-life balance will get affected. You have mentioned that Electrical Maintenance Field lacs work-life balance. Is it applicable in all organizations? If you have a LinkedIn Account, put job alerts for 'Electrical Maintenance Engineer'. Whenever you get alerts of vacancies, go through the JD of each vacancy. Not only that, research about the Companies through their website to know about its HR Policy / its existing culture which you can check in Quora or by connecting with the professionals working in the same company. You can also go through the profiles of the employees working in the companies in your field and how long they have survived? They have been changing the jobs often? These RESEARCHES will help you, decide whether you should join a right company where you get right work-life balance or to switch over to some other field. All the BEST.

Dear sir I have completed my degree in mechanical.. now I'm also work a private company roto moulding engineer from past 6year but job opportunities in this field is to rear now I'm 28yeras old ...what should I do job Change other wise try another job with my actual field?

Ans: Six year of expereince in an engineerign firm would make you both a good practicing engineer with sound project managment and man management skills. Speak to your collegaues and seniors that you are fully eperiences and ready to take on a bigger role. It is easier to gain growth in a company you have spent 6 years rather than looking for opportunitiy in another industry, in another company. Also continue to do cerification in Project Maagement, or a further program in your company's area of speiclisation.

Sir ,,in 1st attempt i got 340 ..in 2nd attempt i got 384 in 3rd attempt i got 458 ..as no way i cant do full drop now ....can i go with partial drop or leave neet and focus on bsc sir !!confused sir plzz help me ...but am more likely wanted to do mbbs ....plx give me a suggestion sir

Ans: Hi Meghnasagar
to be honest there is nothing called partial drop, its like sailing in 2 boats. This will not help.
Private colleges in India are pretty expensive. If MBBS is your only dream, we can explore options for MBBS abroad, which are quite economical.

Other options can be physiotherapy, pharmacy, bsc in forensics etc.

my son is a us citizen and i have returned back to india when he is very young due to family issues... now he completed graduation in india.. and is interested to work in usa what are the opportunities that he can get to pursue further studies in usa with scholarships or assistance or get some help in settling there(unemployment benefits) as i cannot afford to sponsor him anymore

Ans: No issue. Being the citizen he will get the benefit and tuition fess will be very low as compared to other international students. I won't allow his talents to die. But don't send him for Masters, because now a days in Masters it is very difficult to get scholarship, that means tuition fees waive. Let him directly try for PH.D. Ph.D admission always comes with funding. You need to spend only for the air ticket. For long term counselling join me in LINKEDIN. In Ph.d after two years if he wants to discontinue he can safely exit with an MS degree and please don't think of unemployment benefits. It's a negative thinking. Since he is an American Citizen by birth let him fly and inscribe his name in golden letters in the academic landscape of USA. I am always there to help him. No worries please. I thank you for your kind concern for your son. GOD BLESS HIM. Professor

Sir/Madam, I'm pursuing B. Tech in Food technology and I'll graduate in 2025. I want to pursue PhD after B. Tech in Food Science and Technology abroad. So please suggest me of its a better idea or do i have to study Masters?

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.

I am engineer with 16 years of IT experience and now a break of 11 yrs. But in 11 yrs I had been taking Quantitative aptitude lectures as a visiting faculty in various engineering and MBA colleges and also done Mutual fund certification. I haven't been siting but doing many things professionally in last 11 yrs(In my subject of interest as Maths, Teaching, Finance, Accounting, Wealth Management). I was thinking of doing ESG certification. What kind of role I would get if i am CFA ESG certified.I am looking for Professionally and intellectually engaging role where I can contribute to Society. Not a very NGO type( I have tried working with few NGO's)

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. So second time whether your question will come to me or not is not known to anyone of us. Due to the policy I can’t share my email ID and Phone Number.

dear sir ,i am working in automobile sector as a sales trainer i have completed diploma, but now i wanted to change my field and career so where can i go for that and whats should i do for best jobs and earning pls suggest .

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.

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.

I am 29 years old, I have worked in manufacturing industry for 4.5 years but left it for joining IT industry. Since 2.5 years I am working in IT industry with salary of 7 lpa I am broke now . Not getting what should I do?

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.

How is the opportunity in india for a candidate who has done master in data science Australia and also has 1 year work experience in Australia

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.
