Hey everyone, I’m feeling incredibly stuck and could really use some honest perspective. I’m currently trying to choose between pursuing a BA (Hons) or a B.Com (Hons), and it’s turning into a major mental battle between following my interest and securing financial stability.

From my research I know the general perception a standalone BA degree isn't highly valued in the corporate job market unless you pair it with an MA and it rarely lands you a high paying entry-level salary... Even with BA Economics which is considered the most practical of the lot you usually need a Master's or extra certifications to get a great corporate role... That being said after looking into political science, psychology, and sociology, I've realized my genuine interest aligns heavily with BA Sociology.. I truly want to study it but coming from a middle-class Indian family I don't have the luxury or privilege to study purely for passion without worrying about a job... I need financial independence right after graduation...

So, I’m considering a strategy.. What if I pursue BA Sociology but aggressively stack it with market-oriented skills? I’m talking about learning marketing, mastering corporate tools (Excel, SQL, Power BI), and doing side certifications in Project Management or AI Product management to make myself attractive to the corporate world and also working partime or in sales just to be financially stable..By working in sales or any other part-time job will give me experience which i will be needed to get a job..

Alternatively, should I just play it safe and go for B.Com (Hons)? B.Com is universally seen as more practical nowadays because it aligns directly with finance, accounting, and corporate roles... If I do B.Com and add a couple of finance certifications.. A decent-paying job is much more attainable...

Can I actually break into a solid corporate marketing or product role with a BA Sociology degree if my skill stack (SQL, Power BI, Excel) is strong? Or should I just stick to B.Com for the safety net and keep sociology as a hobby? If you have any alternative course/certification recommendations that could bridge the gap for a BA student .. please drop them below. Thanks ..

Ps : Also I have plans to do MA in criminology if I choose to do BA in sociology :)..

Myquals: 12th ( humanities/Arts)

Pata hai aaj kya hua : I left my job (M17)

Toh baat kuch esi hai ki after my 12th exams were done mai socha ki kyu na kuch job kra jaaye cuz meri family utni financially stable nhi hai isliye socha ki ek job kr leta hu but mai 17 ka hu toh ofc according to indian labour law you should be atleast 18 to work.. Fir bhi maine apne ek dost ko bola tha ki bhai agar koi job wagera hai toh dekh thoda mere liye (he is in sales) and usne bola ki "haa theek hai"

Then iske kuch time baad usne merko ek vacancy ke baare mai bataya which was of "stock incharge" In one of puma company's outlet here... Toh mai gaya resume banake and interview hua (informally) cuz mai 18 ka nhi tha toh woh merko hier krne ke liye thoda jhijak rahe the cuz agar kisiko pata chala ki mai yaha kaam krta hu toh unke liye ye ek risky situation ho skti thi

A little about my job position :-

So, as a stock incharge my work was to help in the sales by arranging the stock so that there's never a shortage, refill the stocks every single day and bringing each product/article they ask for.. Aur bhi kaam hai but ye sab main hai...

About the company :-

Obv i hope most of you already know what "puma" is.. If you don't then google it.. Agar dekha jaaye toh Puma ek bohot achi global brand hai.. But nere state mai puma ke jitne bhi stores hai unme se koi bhi company operated nhi hai... Saare kisi na kisi vendor/agency ke through run krte hai.. Bs puma ki partner ship hoti hai... Sidha sidha bolu toh authentic store hai bs operate alag alag Vendors krte..

Ok so now let's get back to the topic..

Toh at the end they told me ki we will heir you but don't tell anyone that you work here .. (And now am telling all of you here.. LoL)

I said "ok"... Uske baad mai mast 1 mahine kaam kra bina kisi tension ke.. 8 hours ki shift thi and it was good (atleast for a month) then suru hua actual khel.. Humara jo store Manager hai woh ek lady hai and it was her first time being a store Manager (she also doesn't have a good bg ifykyk) toh at first in the starting she was like "you are so hardworking, you are the best stock incharge ever" Etc etc..

But after a month she just used to find ways to shout at me.. Like if I did just one thing wrong or forgot about one thing she used to mark that point and gussa krna suru kr deti.. it's not normal if you guys really think about it cuz thoda bohot chalta hai but jaha tumhari galti na ho waha bhi woh bole???

Jo bhi hai iske baad aur bhi cheeze hui.. She even made me wash the cup she drank her "green tea" in.. And not just me but she used to have frequent argument with every staff in the store.. Even our agencies operation manager also knows about this thing but maybe she is beautiful and young that's why no one takes any action.. Idk.. Just because she looks good that doesn't justify her behavior...

And recently on Friday it was my week off and I was with my family when she called me I picked up and phone speaker pai diya (which was a big mistake) she directly started shouting at me regarding a topic which was supposed to be her responsibility but she said that it's my responsibility not hers and it's my fault that it's now messed up.. I mean bruhhhh!!

So I decided it's enough.. Saturday I got my salary and am gonna dial to my operation manager today to just tell him that am done working here the staffs were great they were all supporting (even they are gonna leave that place they are also fed up from her) the Store manager is inexperienced and doesn't know how to talk and behave...

Sorry for a long ahh story ;) peace....
