Career

how is the career in data science. I am an engineer and 50 now. is it worth trying this now.

Ans: A career in Data science is promising. Today, we rely on data for all our decision making whether it be in Financial Services, Education, or any business that is currently operating relies on people who can help evaluate data in the right ways. It's never too late to start & worth trying right now too. I would recommend taking up some free courses to get the hang of what is required post which you can explore a formal education in an executive setting if needed.

Dear Career Advisor, I am currently employed as an Assistant Manager in Solar Operations and Maintenance with 7.5 years of experience in the industry. However, I find myself feeling stagnant in my current role and wish to transition into the Data Analytics field. Despite the booming market for solar energy, the salaries are not as lucrative as I'd hoped. I believe transitioning into Data Science aligns with my interests and offers better prospects for career growth and higher pay. Could you please advise if this transition is worth pursuing at this stage of my career? Additionally, would you recommend pursuing a Master's degree in Data Science, particularly in the USA? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Ans: Hi Anon ,

I understand that you are in sales of solar products since 7.5 yrs however you are mentioning that your salaries are lower than as you say data science.

Now let's understand the process of remuneration a top super specialty Dr. consultancy fees is ?500-?1000 a plumber with no formal qualifications visit charges are ?500-?1000
A sanitary worker dealing with drains ?2000-?5000
Now undestand labour pay is categorised by the degree of difficulties and intellectual property, along with the availability of the workforce.
Hence a gold smith is paid more than an iron smith... because of the finesse required and the higher value of gold over iron.
Coming back to the solar industry it's categorised into two sectors branded & unbranded... where in the pay scales & employee Privileges are certainly different ..what immediately comes to my mind is TATA BP SOLAR a collaboration between Tata and British Petroleum.. Check it out!?

Trying to shift careers is like jumping boat's mid-stream... Hazardous!?
Your previous experience is then ZERO!

NOW.. Master's in USA if you have the inclination and the university seat granted along with the finances of around ?100 lacs minimum for a 2 yrs Master's along with other expenses..!?

I have given you the thought process, the onus of the decision is solely yours!

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your challenges in finding job opportunities in Maharashtra. Consider searching for positions in neighboring cities or regions where there may be more demand for microbiologists. Make use of online job portals and professional networking platforms to search for job openings in your field. Tailor your resume to highlight your relevant skills and experiences, and actively apply to positions that match your qualifications. Attend industry-specific events, seminars, and conferences where you can network with professionals in your field and learn about job opportunities. Join relevant industry associations or online forums to stay updated on industry trends and job openings. Identify companies in Maharashtra that may require microbiologists for research, testing, or product development purposes. Visit their websites, review their career pages, and reach out directly to inquire about job opportunities or submit your resume. Job searching can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but it's important to stay persistent and maintain a positive attitude. Celebrate small victories, stay proactive in your job search efforts, and remain confident in your abilities and qualifications. Keep refining your job search strategies, and don't hesitate to seek support from former colleagues, classmates, professors, and industry contacts who may be aware of job openings or able to provide insights into the job market.

My grandmother has Parkinson's and got a tube in her nose that extends to her stomach that so we can inject liquids easily as she completely avoids eating food and doesn't even swallow a sip of water. She snatched the tube out of her nose completely and now it cannot be used again. We cannot keep a check on her for full 24 hours but we try our best. Please suggest anything to avoid the snatching as once a tube has been taken out it cannot be re-inserted. And please one more thing that she keeps wetting the bed despite of using diapers. The diaper always leaks out and then my mom has to clean grandmother, her clothes, the bed sheets etc. She gets tired by doing this twice a day as it is a lot of work. Pls suggest something about the bed wetting to how to minimise it. She is around 70 kgs and cannot even get up herself so my mom has to pull her out of the bed which requires a lot of strength. My mom feels pain in her back and shoulder a lot. All of this happening around the house is too much. I will be grateful if you reply.
Ans: To avoid bed wetting you need to make her wear the correct size diaper. Undersheets can be used as an added protection.
Normally soaking happens if we do not change the diaper adequately.
Please ask your Mom to do some upper body work outs through a physios, help.
With respect to the Ryle's tube, it is an irritant that one gets used to. If your Grandmom does not like it and non cooperative not much can be done. But you could check up with her Physician if now and then Parenteral nutrition can be given by hospitalising her
