I’m 21, finishing my degree soon but likely have 1–2 backlogs. I used to be good at studies but lost consistency over the past few years.
Now I’m confused about what to do next. My parents expect me to get a job immediately, but I feel lost and don’t have strong skills yet. I’m considering options like:
- Taking a basic job (₹10k–₹25k) for stability
- Preparing for studying abroad (UK or Japan)
- Trying to build skills alongside a job
My main goals are:
- Become financially independent
- Build a better future (not get stuck in low-paying jobs)
- Eventually earn enough to enjoy life in my 20s
My concerns:
- If I take a job, I might get stuck and not grow
- If I don’t, I’ll waste more time like before
- Not sure if I have the discipline right now for big decisions like going abroad
What would you do in my situation for the next 6–12 months?
