Need career advice
Hi there am 21 year old undergrad and I recently graduated with a BBA degree, and honestly, I feel completely directionless right now. My convocation is in October, but I still don’t have a job or any clear plan for the future.
During college, I wasted a lot of time and didn’t do internships or build any useful skills, which I regret now. Seeing others getting placed or moving ahead makes me feel even more confused about what I should do next.
Right now I’m stuck between two options:
- Prepare for government exams like UPSC or other competitive exams
- Take a drop year, prepare for CAT seriously, and try for an MBA next year
The problem is I’m not confident in my skills or even in my ability to stay consistent. I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who have been in a similar situation or know what path might make more sense for someone like me.
What would you suggest?
