23F i have three gap years after 12th and don't know what to do next
my Story
after 12th, i couldn't go to college as dad didn't allow me to study further, prepared for govt exams but i couldn't crack it, i am taking therapy now with the money i saved from part time jobs
i am already 23 and feel hopeless about my career, my school friends are already in their master's now, with some joining jobs
i desperately want to become financially independent, and have planned some paths to get there, but i am not sure due to AI
some things i have thought of:
1. do a bca + mca (can specialize in cybersecurity which i find interesting by adding certs like Comptia+ later) but i don't think i want to do tech long term, tech is also very volatile now due to AI, and i wonder if i will even get placed due to my gap years
2. give clat this year and aim for a top NLU, get an educational loan to pay to cover the fees and aim for corporate law roles to pay it back while working
3. do bcom + indian CMA, and aim for FP&A roles, but managing both offline bcom and CMA prep would be very hard, their exam dates may clash as they both conduct exams around june and december,
but i if choose a distance bcom through ignou, it may work but what if due to some reason i couldn't complete CMA? wouldn't i be left with just a distance bcom which has no value? what will i do then? there's no fallback here
4. design or marketing, pick any practical degree and explore design or marketing alongside, build a portfolio, do internships, can get a mdes later if required
5, govt jobs again? no i am already traumatized by that experience and i don't want to give it again, it's just not for me
i am open to any other suggestions apart from these five as well
what kind of career i want
something stable and tolerable( which i don't hate) in a slow moving industry with a decent salary ceiling (scope of salary growth, so no jobs like school teaching)
current problems
1st problem:
college admissions for this year have already started, and vacant seats are being filled, i need to hurry and choose some practical degree
i am primarily confused between bba, bca and bcom,
bsc stats and math would be great but i don't think i can do it as i am not that great with maths
and taking a tier 3 btech CS seems risky and expensive as i will graduate at 27 and who knows what the tech market look like then because of AI
i want to choose quickly because i am already 23 and graduation is a must, i need to at least start college and not delay any longer
2nd problem:
this year CLAT's deadline is already inching closer, there's only 5 months left, i need to decide quickly if i want to give it or drop the idea or perhaps do it with a degree(see above) as backup
my qualifications
10 >> 7
10+2 (PCM) >> 6
3 gap years after 10+2
so MBA is out of the question, 3 gap years and my past acads have weakened my profile a lot, i don't know how i can make up for it.
please don't ignore, i really need some advice
thankk you so much
