I have been working professional in service for last 22 years. Have tried with one small scale manufacturing unit for around one year. To meet financial requirements, I started working full time job. I was satisfied with it initially. Once financial requirements were fulfilled, I started looking for some business oportunity. Since last 10 years am not able to find something I can dedicate my life to so am continuing my job half heartedly. How do I find somthing to do business.

Ans: Firstly, please evaluate why you want to do business? Do you have a business idea that you have full faith in and that you can execute? What is your financial backing and your risk appetite. There are pros and cons of doing a business and you have to give ot your all. it is certainly not a side hustle, that you can do with a job.

Take out some time to think over it, decide and take a plunge if you have to; else drop the idea and be happy in your job. In your current state, you will neither be happy in your job nor start a business.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.
Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).
