I’m currently in 3rd year BTech from a tier 3 college and honestly feeling very confused about my future.

My parents want me to prepare for CAT and go for an MBA from a good college. But personally, I want to get a job as soon as possible and become financially independent.

The problem is I’m not very strong academically and I’d consider myself an average student. At the same time, I also feel like I lack proper skills for getting a good job. Because of this, I feel stuck between preparing for higher studies or focusing completely on skill development and placements.

People who were in a similar situation:

- Did you focus on skills and jobs first?

- Or prepare for CAT/GATE/higher studies?

- Is it realistic for an average student from a tier 3 college to get a decent job with enough effort?

Would really appreciate honest advice and experiences.

I do have a laptop and time what should i do to earn way money u can work for 3 to 4hrs ?

Need career advice: CAT preparation vs skills/placements for tier 3 student. I am an average student and don't have any skills
