I am student in 1st year of be cse(ai). I belong to tier3 college. I am confused between either i do preperation for internship or i do preparation for masters. Please advise me or suggest me some tips for both.
Ans: Thank you for contacting me. Deciding between pursuing an internship and preparing for a master's degree depends on your individual goals, career aspirations, and current circumstances. An internship provides hands-on experience in a professional setting, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, whereas, getting a master’s degree from a top college can open up new career opportunities, increase your earning potential, and position you for leadership roles in the future.

Internships allow you to explore different industries, roles, and career paths, helping you clarify your career interests, whereas, getting a master's degree can enhance your professional qualifications, increase your marketability, and improve your prospects for career advancement.

Please remember, regardless of whether you choose internships or further studies, try to focus on building your technical skills, particularly in areas relevant to your field of study. Take advantage of opportunities to learn programming languages, algorithms, machine learning, and other AI-related topics through coursework, online tutorials, workshops, and projects.

I would recommend you manage both. Consider factors such as your career aspirations, academic interests, financial situation, and time frame, and choose the option that aligns best with your long-term objectives. If you have any specific questions or need further advice, feel free to ask me on Rediff Gurus.

Hi , I wish to “Write in English” as a Profession , as that happens to be one of my core competency . It gives me a lot of soulful satisfaction & propels me to continue writing further . My Drafting & command over English Writing has been my primary strength right from my schooling days but I committed the mistake of not choosing it as a career . Hence , Post doing my B.E. & M.B.A. , I worked in decent Corporates for 16 Years but went on to quit the last Job in 2021 as I felt stagnant & monotonous doing what I was into . I was immensely appreciated for my e-mail drafts & Write-ups in all the Organisations I worked in but that had no weightage in my KRA . I did pretty well in my professional career with the exception of the last couple of months wherein I felt a bit lost & as a result , was not enjoying my work . I am into my 44th Year & now convinced to follow my dream professionally ( i.e Writing & penning down what comes my way) but am somewhat clueless how to move ahead . I am not there for the in-vogue content writing stuffs , online blogs etc. but want to write on something substantial or small interesting / soothing write-ups that interests a major chunk of the readers . Kindly help me with all the specific / possible options wherein I can directly target , that would probably yield me results ASAP . Please give detailed info with the probable sources to explore-in , as generic one-liners may not help , as I am blank on whom to approach . Looking forward to your much value added counselling & the probable avenues that may break the ice for me . Thanks & Regards !!! Pls. Keep up with the Good-Work you guys are doing with this Q&A Consultancy Guided Section .
Ans: HI!!
The way you have stated your needs so clearly shows that you have good writing skills, so no doubts about your writing skills.

In the message you mentioned that you quit your job in 2021 and yet you say you are not enjoying work since the last couple of months. A little confusion there for me, I am assuming you are still working. You also mention that you did pretty well professionally, this shows a mind that can work well even when it not totally into the work heart and soul. Try to find positive reasons around your work.
You are 44 you said, at this age we all are at loggerheads with what we studied, what we are doing for a living and what we are passionate about! I have been there..

I need to say a little about myself in order to answer your question. I am an Engineer too, today I am Image Consultant and a Soft Skills Trainer. I used to work with one of the top telecom companies, my Mentor there used to say an Engineer can do anything and me and you are proving that. You are a BE, MBA and you have exceptional writing skills.

As a public speaking skills coach I used to write speeches for clients and help them deliver with panache. One of my long standing clients said no to the classes after I increased the fees. Where did she get her strength from to say no?....AI and Chatgpt, even though she always said it doesn't have the AD (Archana Deshpande) effect!! Why I am mentioning such a personal incident is to help you understand the scenario today.
You want to write good stuff and earn money too, rt? You don't want that typical content writer kind of jobs... so what I suggest is that since a BE MBA is a deadly combo and you are an intelligent man, pls continue to use these to earn money. I want you to google, "platforms for writers to make money" and check all your options, for sometime write and publish on various platforms, send it to various newspapers, see how people respond to you. I know your joy comes from writing so go for it on a day to day basis, schedule it everyday. When you continue to do tasks that bring you joy, your doing all the things that are compulsory becomes easy( like going to office). Test the waters before you quit your well paying job( and yourself mentioned you are doing pretty well). Plan to write a book on a subject that comes easily to you or a book of short stories around your experiences. Today Mrs Sudha Murthy is a celebrated writer, look at her journey as writer, it didn't happen overnight. There is no ASAP here. You want to become a writer professionally, take it slow, start writing, start publishing you work, gauge the readers reaction, keep writing, keep reinventing, it's a creative process, let it flow through you without the stress of earning money through it.... it's joy for you to write, let it remain so!! Create a beautiful space at home to allow the creative juices to flow, continue to write everyday. Apart form writing, check what else brings you joy, on a day to day basis consciously spend time doing things that bring you joy. Enthusiasm/energy for life comes from your joy list. I am listing so many things because you mentioned you are not enjoying your job. I want you to arrive at a place where you enjoy your job( it pays your bills and takes care of your family) and continue to work on stuff you are passionate about. It can be done by living a little consciously and joyously, a little shift in the mindset can do wonders!!
All the very best!!

Hello sir my son is 12 pcm pass out cbse board. But he scored only 68 percent. He want to prepration of upsc. So what idia do you suggest?
Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. If your son is interested in pursuing a career in the civil services and preparing for the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) exams despite scoring 68 percent in his 12th grade PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) from CBSE, then he should start building a strong foundation in core subjects and gradually expanding his knowledge of current affairs, history, geography, polity, economy, and other relevant topics to clear exam. It is a long-term process that requires consistent effort and dedication hence, encourage your son to start preparing early by familiarizing himself with the UPSC exam pattern, syllabus, and previous years' question papers.

Consider enrolling your son in reputable coaching institutes as well that offer specialized UPSC exam preparation programs. These institutes provide structured guidance, study materials, mock tests, and expert faculty to help candidates prepare effectively for the UPSC exams. UPSC exam preparation requires staying informed about current affairs, national and international events, government policies, and socio-economic developments therefore, motivate him to read newspapers, magazines, and online sources regularly to stay updated and develop a comprehensive understanding of contemporary issues.

UPSC exam preparation can be challenging and stressful. As a parent, provide emotional support, encouragement, and motivation to help your son stay focused and resilient during the preparation process. By following these suggestions and maintaining a disciplined approach to UPSC exam preparation, your son can increase his chances of success in the competitive civil services exams. Encourage him to stay committed to his goals, persevere through challenges, and pursue his dreams with determination and enthusiasm. Best of luck! Feel free to contact me on Rediff Gurus if you need further assistance or help.
