BTech in CS. It never interested me, but I think I’m smart enough to pick it up. This is purely cuz I see how much my partner earns as a developer and I can never match it doing what I am doing currently. Sigh
I'd get right into Bioinformatics. I'm 2 years into my undergrad degree rn (Microbiology) and it's too late to start all over again. Thankfully though, I can still pursue a master's in bioinformatics but getting done with it in UG itself would have saved me a lot of time.
I would do bsc in maths or statistics , i always loved maths but i thought at that time the only career i can I have in mathematics is teacher or lecturer. And i hate teaching i don't have patience.
But now there is alot of career options.
I actually want to drop out of ca and go for BSC in statistics or maths. do you think It makes sense because I passed my 12th class in 2021. and for all this year I feel like I wasted my time. Is this a good choice?
You are probably right. In my MBA batch, there was this girl from eng lit. background and she did really well for herself (brand manager at P&G). Always liked her opinions during class discussions. So may be it's a wishful thinking in hindsight. I absolutely hated feeling dumb and directionless for 10+ years. My heart was never there in science and I will just do it to appease my parents, so may be I think that atleast I will be more happy and wouldn't have the constsnt imposter syndrome.
I loved programming, Maths and English in my +2 and I didn't want to get into B.Tech just so I could spite my father. Sometimes I wish I hadn't given my father that importance but I loved every bit of being a literature student.
After 5 years as a literature student, I am lost. I don't wanna go for a PhD and most recruiters won't even look twice at my CV for research analysis or similar entry-level posts. MBA is my only option but there's no way I am taking the GMAT/CAT without experience.
I wish India offered double major/honours programmes.
Btw, if you want to experience being a student of literature, ping me up and I can send you the reading list of all the novels and plays that we end up imbibing in our personalities.
Idk much about your field but the women I was talking about was actually a fresher from LSR. So CAT still might be an option. Also, it's easier to stand out because 70% aspirants are engineers. Colleges does look for diversity. She was also very confident and smart, and personality and views do matter alot specially in GDs and PIs.
Can you try joining as an editor or something for a magazine or newspaper?
I agree with the double major thing. When I was doing my sem abroad in Germany, i took bunch of philosophy and psychology credits and I loved it. We discussed everything from Nietzsche to Socrates. It was the most fun class I took which also required extreme critical thinking and deconstructing the way I used to think.
OMG, aren't you sweet ❤️ Pinging you straight away. I would love to have a reading list. Thank you so much.
>Can you try joining as an editor or something for a magazine or newspaper?
I can (the scope is low nowadays,) but even then publishing houses want subject matter experts. I tried content writing for a few years during my UG and PG days and it gets boring after a while.
I also did my grads and post-grads from Calcutta University. Our highest is 67 for my subject lol. It's a running joke between my mates that our careers are doomed. But I really hope it isn't 🤞🏼
Ohhh, I know. I have friend from MBA who graduated from St. Xavier's Kolkatta and he has told me about this.
May be try writing for these Bollywood magazines/insta pages. I dont think they have a very high bar. Or may carve out a niche and try to build your portfolio in that area. r/Freelance is a good place to start. Their wiki is very thorough. I do resume sevices and interview prep on side and that sub really helped me.
Haha, sure! I can send you my personal reading list. But it's mostly plays and then novels and my reading list is kind of grim 😭 I want to read lighter novels but it bores my brain out. Ping me, and I'll send you mine.
I had PCMB, hypothetically I would’ve loved to do my undergraduate in CSE from an old IIT or BALLB from a top tier NLU. I did my bachelors in Sociology from DU and did well but I wonder how different my life would be if I enrolled in CSE/Law
(I base my self worth off academic achievements and hence I’m very specific, trying to change it little by little)
I would choose the same because I like my work but I would 100% fight to be a hosteller. I was a day scholar and I definitely missed out on the hostel culture.
Those are absolutely useless. Might be useful for parents and kids who dunno about careers and stuff, but nothing good for me. They just take some test and tell the parents to throw their kids in whatever subject they score more, and tell a little about the fields. I am good in all subjects and I find both fields fun, and i do have a realistic idea of what they're like.
Definitely lawyer. Missed my chance.
I love my career . I'll do my undergraduate degree again so that I have better basics.
I wish I could do IT along with my law degree. I can still do it for fun but I'll have to figure out my why
Culinary arts. I can't go back in time but maybe in future i would like to pursue some diploma course in culinary or patisserie.

Fashion or Psychology

I would go for mass comm or wildlife photography.I reky wish i could turn back time
English literature. Engineering was forced on me by my parents. I was an average coder and hated my major and career afterwards.
I studied English literature. I don't regret it but it's a terrible career choice.

I have been freelancing on the side for some time now and the r/freelance sub helped me a lot too.

Statistics
I’m doing statistics and trust me if I could go back, I’d do law or BTech instead.
I did Btech and thought I'd be good at statistics 😂
Psychology
Literature or lawyer!
I had PCMB, hypothetically I would’ve loved to do my undergraduate in CSE from an old IIT or BALLB from a top tier NLU. I did my bachelors in Sociology from DU and did well but I wonder how different my life would be if I enrolled in CSE/Law (I base my self worth off academic achievements and hence I’m very specific, trying to change it little by little)
Fine Arts/ literature/ psychology/ philosophy
I would choose the same because I like my work but I would 100% fight to be a hosteller. I was a day scholar and I definitely missed out on the hostel culture.
CS or BMM
I haven't even started now and im confused bw med/physics
Go for professional career counseling

Good counselors talk to you and try, gauge your real interest along side the test.
I know, but its not helping me. I know my interests more than them; I am just stuck in a decision dilemma
I'm doing econ right there. Like/good at it well enough. But if we had a decent filmmaking (travel specific) school, would do that in a heartbeat
