Okay just as the title tells everything. Plus I need an elder sister/brother advice 😭🙏
I am 20 (F) who is currently a lab rat of the new NEP curriculum which was introduced first in my batch and I have decided to not continue the 4th year of my bachelors of commerce degree as I feel it is a waste of time (we have the option to exit at 3rd year) and I can either focus on a professional course or a job in the mean time before I do my MBA in finance/Fintech.
The city that I shifted in , i.e, Kolkata has the worst job market and I am trying my luck by applying here and there via LinkedIn and unstop for finance internships. Honestly, my college placement cell only has sales job and I don't wish to go for sales at all. I just want to gain experience and go for my MBA in the next few years. I contacted my teacher who also runs an abroad education organisation and the list of universities she gave has very bad reviews in reddit and as a middle class Indian who is an eldest child whose father expired 7 months ago, with a sister who will start college and with a family who has debts and loans to pay, I cannot afford to waste money .
My concerns are :
I have interest in finance and analysis, what course should I take up ?
I considered taking up CFA but I want to earn first so that I can fund my education myself
How am I supposed to find a job related to finance that atleast pays me 25k-30k per month so that I can take care of my expenses myself because I know I will give my 100% when I enter the company.
I have only done 1.5 months of internship in a CA firm and have been taking care of my father's business in terms of tax, gst etc ...will this be recognised by the recruiters?
I did receive a PPO in the CA firm but I don't want to go back home because I fear that once I go back , I won't be able to get out as I will be falling into the endless loop of family problems and fixing those issues. My family is great, my mom and sister are amazing people, it's not the people but as someone who has lived alone for 3 years, I prefer it that way.
Is doing an MBA in Finance better or Msc in Finance and Accounting? I don't want to waste money behind a degree like I did for Bcom
PLEASE HELP 😭🙏
