My qualifications:12th passed, As i don't have skills rn, But i am willing to earn money through online immediately, Which skill should i learn first so that i can earn immediately? Cause i am going through a financial issues literally.

So I have neet this year , and it was my first drop. I have a small job of BPM in a post office. It takes upto 6 hrs with getting ready and travelling, from 9 am to 3 pm. I have my notes of previous year. My bases are weak in optics and organic chemistry. Should I follow only full length physics lectures and chemistry lectures,and prepare bio through one shots. Turning 20 this year

I have recently posted about the assignment help after getting some advice i decided to start

Studying . Some peers i know say you don't have to study hard for B.A degree whatsoever.

I have enrolled in BAEGH Jan 2026.

Pls help me if you have any tips and all

I work full time so don't have that much time on my hands.

"I got an AI/ML TFW seat at Gyan Ganga through MP DTE. I want to upgrade it, but my parents do not want to send me too far from home. Jabalpur is near my home (about 50 to 70 km away), so they want me to study there. What should I do?"

Hey,

Posting this because I’ve hit a wall and honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

I graduated with a BA this year under NEP (History major, PolSci minor). Before that, I tried B.Tech CSE at a tier-3 college and dropped out after the first year — wasn’t for me, and I wasn’t performing well either. I was in a bad place at that time, my university wasn’t well equipped to teach me online well during the pandemic and i was just drifting through the syllabus. People more capable and interested than me were struggling, and talking with alumnus and my seniors severely dealt a big blow to my morale when my financial condition wasn’t going well and people close to me passed away. I was already burnt out. My dad got infected too but he later recovered. I talked with therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists and was later diagnosed with depression and was on medication. After recovering and constant indecision i enrolled for BA in a tier two college. BA felt like the right call at the time, but now I’m staring at the same question again: what next?

I’ve spoken to professors, watched hours of YouTube, asked seniors and I’m more confused than when I started. The problem isn’t that there are no options. It’s that none of them feel clearly right.

What I’ve already ruled out:

•	Teaching or academia

•	UPSC / government exams

•	MBA (too competitive, not genuinely interested)

•	Anything math or commerce-heavy (CA etc.)

What I actually want:

•	Stable income and financial independence

•	Work I can tolerate long-term without feeling trapped

•	A direction I can commit to: not just something to fill time

What’s making this harder:

•	I’ve looked at things like digital marketing, content, HR, public policy, research roles, but haven’t been able to commit to any

•	I’m worried that doing honours or a master’s just delays the real problem

•	The job market feels brutal even for people with higher degrees, which makes every option feel pointless

•	I overthink, get stuck in loops, and end up doing nothing which I know makes it worse

What I’m genuinely trying to figure out:

1.	Which paths after BA actually lead to stable income in India realistically?

2.	Should I be focusing on a master’s right now, or skill-building first?

3.	How do you pick one direction when everything feels equally uncertain?

4.	What would a sensible 3–6 month plan look like in my situation?

If you’ve been through something similar especially the engineering dropout + arts degree combo, I’d really appreciate hearing what actually worked for you. Not looking for “follow your passion” type answers. Just honest, grounded advice. Maybe Reddit is not the right place to ask but i am desperate nonetheless. I have seen gig workers with Engg degrees or being underemployed.

Some people even suggested me to go out of India but even that seems impossible now. My professors suggested me – Research / policy / think tanks

Public policy / international relations

HR / corporate roles

Tech-adjacent fields (not hardcore coding, but something around it)

Archival / historical research / museum-type work

Creative/field roles like film sets (historical research side)

TL;DR - BA graduate feeling lost about career choices (MBA/UPSC/honors/MA), struggling with depression and uncertainty about future in hyper-competitive job market where even qualified people are suffering post-pandemic + AI disruption.

Guys I am a fresher at neet preparation starting from class 11th itself at aakash institute

I want some suggestions from senior guys and also mention the mistakes which I should avoid in order to get selected in any gmc in first attempt

I often receive advice to “just prepare for UPSC” because I come from a humanities background.
However, my concern is opportunity cost, uncertainty and the low success rate.
For people who have seriously prepared:
Would you recommend UPSC to someone who values stability?
Is it realistic to keep UPSC as a backup while pursuing another career path?
What would you do differently if starting again?

So I am a student in 12 class I am indian an also study ina government school and I have been getting beaten up by my teachers a lot in school and they beat me for little things like even smiling in class or not having a proper hair I got humiliated by my teacher in assembly ground today and slapped by my teacher today and the problem is that he only slapped me and no other student with long hair in school and I have been targeted by 2-3 teachers a lot of times i tried telling my parents but they would just ignore me and tell me that I am making a fuzz for no reason they don't take it seriously and a teacher in my school also know my a relative of mine and a few family member of mine so he beats me up for little things cause he knows that my family wouldn't take my side. I thought of complaining it to child helpline but I am scared that if somehow my teachers found out about it and again beated me up I am too scared what should I do

I am 21 years old. I am studying at a private engineering college. ive come home for summer vacation here in Chennai , and what is annoying me is my parents comparing me constantly to fellow apartment kids which is so so tiring and exhausting because im trying too..my parents keep telling me that at my age I should be earning some money.. t. I have skills I work on projects at my internship.. I have never made any money from them. and this has started to bother each day .

I am putting myself out here. I just want to prove to myself that my skills are worth something. here's a small list of things Ive worked on

* Python scripting for automation and data cleaning and making tools

* Data annotation and labeling. I have worked with YOLO pipelines and CVAT

* Helping with machine learning model evaluation or basic training

* Embedded systems basics, like STM 32 , ESP32 and circuit stuff

I am looking to do any work that would make me some money

tasks that pay around ₹4k to ₹8k. I will do a trial task first so you do not have to take a risk on someone you do not know.If you have any work you can send me a message. Even a small job will help me.

Hi everyone, throwaway-ish post because this is personal but I need honest advice, not sympathy.

I attempted NEET three times. By the third attempt, honestly, I'd lost interest in it I wasn't studying properly, I knew it, and I still went and gave the exam half-heartedly because I didn't know what else to do. I don't think I'll clear it now even if I try again, and more importantly I don't want to anymore. I think I kept going because I didn't have a backup plan, not because I actually wanted to be a doctor at this point.

The complication: I didn't take Maths in 12th (PCB only), so a lot of the usual "switch to engineering" advice doesn't directly apply to me. I'm currently looking at BCA as an option, with the plan to focus seriously on coding/development alongside it or after it.

The other thing my father passed away, so this isn't just about "finding my passion," I genuinely need to start earning reasonably fast. I can't afford 4-5 more years of figuring things out. I need a path that's realistic, not too slow, and something I can actually get good at and get paid for.

So I wanted to ask people who've been through something similar or know this space well:

- Is BCA + self-taught coding actually a viable path to a real job, or is it overrated without a B.Tech?
- Should I be looking at BCA from a good college specifically, or does it matter less for tech roles if my coding/portfolio is strong?
- Are there other options I'm not considering given no Maths in 12th, limited time, and needing income relatively soon?
- Any honest timeline like realistically, BCA + coding, when could I expect to be job-ready and earning?

I know it's a lot, but I'd genuinely appreciate guidance from people who've navigated a pivot like this, not just "don't worry, everything works out" type comments. I'm trying to make a real decision here.

Thanks for reading this far.

myquals -12th pass

You can also send me .... I will rate you

I (21F) am planning a goa trip with my boyfriend. we both are in the same college and live in my campus hostel. there is a long and formal procedure followed in my hostel to grant leaves.

the parents have to mail the warden from their registered mail IDs and then the warden approves it only after we ask her by physically going to her office. that too after she re-confirms it on call from the registered phone number

now i have tried one trick but it's gotten old now. I'll use this one if nothing else works

my home is quite near my college, so i visit my parents once every two weeks. what i do is i call them and tell them I'm coming home that week, i get my leave approved and at the very last moment i call them and tell them something came up and i'd have to cancel.

I've used this 4-5 times, and I feel very bad after cancelling cuz they love me a lot and are always eager to meet me and i think it breaks their heart when I cancel like that.

I'll use this trick only when I'd have no other choice

please suggest something creative

Mine was probably "don't worry about internships, companies will come to campus and hire everyone."

I've also heard:

• "The visa situation is completely closed now."
• "Nobody gets jobs anymore."
• "A degree from any university abroad is automatically worth it."

Curious what advice you've received that turned out to be completely wrong, outdated, or exaggerated.

Saw this video and honestly idk how to feel about it, do we really need conversation like this? Because I think about it, what can I do as my Plan B? What will be the alternate option?
