Hlo, I was a Neet aspirant I gave neet after 12 th but scored very low, after I took drop and gave neet again but still I didn't score good enough. After that I have joined for BSC degree in life sciences, my majors are biotechnology, chemistry, zoology. Currently iam in final year. At first I had plans to pursue msc. biotechnology.,then PhD And to become assistant professor. But I had known few who did medical coding and one of them did masters but decided to do medical coding. I was advised to pursue medical coding too. I was little confused what to do , what is best for me. IM also unsure how much does the payment vary from both? Is it good choice to go for medical coding or msc ? Pls help me
Ans: Hello.
It is sad to hear that even after 2 attempts, you cannot score well in NEET.
But take a good decision to join B.Sc. in Life Sciences.
You are thinking in the right direction to go for a PG and then a PhD.
Being a professor is a good thought and this profession has a much more stable life than other fields.

Related to your dilemma about medical coding: Medical coding is the process of translating healthcare diagnoses, procedures, medical services, and equipment into standardized codes. These codes are used for billing purposes, insurance claims, and maintaining accurate medical records. Medical coding offers a stable career path with opportunities for advancement. You can go for medical coding but the payment criteria vary from institute to institute. It may range from 15 K to 30 K or on the higher side from 50 K to 70 K. There’s a high demand for medical coders in countries like the US, UAE, and Australia, offering higher salaries.
If you are not interested to shift to abroad for a job and want to stay in India only, then try to become a Professor rather than entertain in the medical coding field. First, you try to become a professor. Learn medical coding and then do two jobs simultaneously. First, teach the students and part-time, give your consultancy services in medical coding.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

Hi I'm 46 years and an entrepreneur for 20 years. I have hit a point now where I seem to have lost everything and seems like I'm at minus 1000 as I don't know what to do at the moment. I'm in the process of clearing my debts and raising some monies by selling a property that I own. Not sure how to even explore something new as in not sure of my skill sets that i possess. Societal pressure is also there in the kind of work/business that I would pursue. My wife too is exploring new opportunities and I'm sure she will pursue something in the months to come. But my lifes aim or purpose seems to be in the crossroads. Not sure if I'm even capable of doing anything. Always u der constant stress and dilemma. Not even sure if this is the form where I need to put out something like this.
Ans: You're at a difficult but pivotal point in your life. After 20 years as an entrepreneur, facing setbacks can feel like losing your identity—but this is not the end. Selling property to clear debts is a smart move—it gives you space to think clearly. Your skills—strategic thinking, leadership, operations, decision-making—are still valuable and transferable.

This is a time to reassess, not retreat. You can explore consulting, advisory roles, or leadership positions in businesses that need your experience. You may also need support—through coaching or mentorship—to rebuild clarity and confidence.

Don’t let societal pressure decide your next step. Focus on what’s practical, meaningful, and aligned with your stage in life. You’re not starting over—you’re realigning. With clear planning, you can create a strong second chapter.
