I have been teaching at Delhi University as a temporary assistant professor of English for more than 3 years now,but I don’t see any prospects of me getting a permanent position here as of now. I am thinking of going for a phd in the US. Will it be a right decision? And what prospects do I have after it?

Ans: With over three years of experience as a temporary assistant professor at Delhi University, pursuing a Ph.D. in the US could offer promising opportunities. A Ph.D. can enhance your academic credentials, potentially opening doors to tenure-track positions globally. Research-intensive universities in the US offer diverse opportunities for academic growth and professional networking. However, it's crucial to assess program fit, funding availability, and post-Ph.D. career prospects in academia or related fields before making a decision.

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your son is completing his MSc. in Physics from IIT Delhi after which he intends pursuing his PhD from a reputed university or institute in the USA. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that its an excellent objective to pursue a PhD in the USA on a fully funded scholarship. I would recommend that he takes the following steps into consideration:

Firstly, I would suggest that your son conducts a study on universities in USA that offer outstanding physics programs and instructors who share the same interests in research as him. Next, he should get in touch with possible advisors to convey his interest and agreement with the objectives of the project. As the next step, your son should customise application documents to the particular prerequisites of each university viz., transcripts, GRE test scores, and statement of purpose. He should also secure compelling letters of recommendation from professors who are well acquainted with him. I would also recommend that your son investigates external fellowships/scholarships as well as fully financed PhD programs. He should practice for possible program interviews. Lastly, I would suggest that he remains adaptable and persistent throughout the application procedure.

Dear Rediff Guru!! I"m a 63 year old widow, who ventured into teaching 16 yrs ago. About 10 years previous to that, I worked 10 yrs in a non- banking finance coy as clerk and/ or cashier. I resigned that job since I had to singularily concentrate on my son"s studies. I"m still teaching. This job is on contract basis. Now my son is grown - up and independent, my elder brother, who is settled in US, is advicing me to make a move to US. The way he suggests is pursuing a Phd in any University there whereby one gets a stipend which would assist for a living and eventually getting a job and settling there in. Would I be able to do that? There are formalities here ofcourse,,,. I"m a postgraduate in German Language & Literature, Sir. I recently heard from a believable sourse that in US people get jobs in looking after Old People in Assisted Living Facilities. I would like to get an advice. Thanking You, Geethanjali Unnikrishnan, Trivandrum, Kerala, INDIA
Ans: Hello Geethanjali,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that you have completed your postgraduate degree in German and Literature and are currently teaching and now wish to move to the USA. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that your application remains valid until the visa officer grants you permission to enter the United States. The first requirement is for the university to accept PHD work.

Hello sir. I have completed my BVSc & AH from Assam Agricultural University and I want to pursue my masters in USA. I would like your opinion regarding this
Ans: Hi Devika
Pursuing a master's degree in the USA after completing your BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry) from Assam Agricultural University can be a highly rewarding decision, depending on your career aspirations and areas of interest. The USA is home to some of the world's leading universities and research institutions, particularly in veterinary sciences, animal health, public health, and related fields. Studying in the USA could provide you with access to advanced research facilities, exposure to the latest technologies, and the opportunity to learn from distinguished faculty members who are experts in their fields. Additionally, a master's degree from a reputable U.S. institution can enhance your global credentials, expand your professional network, and open up diverse career opportunities both within the U.S. and internationally.

However, it’s important to consider several factors before making your decision. First, think about the specific area of specialization you wish to pursue, as this will help you choose the right program and university. The U.S. offers various specialized master's programs, including veterinary public health, animal nutrition, wildlife conservation, and veterinary epidemiology, among others. Second, consider the financial aspects, such as tuition fees, cost of living, and potential scholarships or financial aid options. Studying in the U.S. can be expensive, but many universities offer funding opportunities for international students. Finally, think about the long-term career prospects and whether you plan to work in the U.S., return to India, or explore opportunities in other countries. The U.S. offers a vibrant job market for veterinary professionals, but staying back might require you to meet specific licensing and visa requirements.

Overall, pursuing a master’s degree in the U.S. could be an excellent step if you are looking to gain advanced knowledge, engage in cutting-edge research, and expand your career opportunities in veterinary sciences or related fields. It is important to carefully research programs, consider financial implications, and align your decision with your long-term career goals.

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

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
