Passed 12th PCM, Don’t Know What Career to Choose

Passed CBSE Class 12 PCM with around 80% and currently very confused about career options. My parents expect engineering, but lately I’ve been researching careers like CA and a few other non-engineering paths too. The problem is I’m from a pure science background and have almost no knowledge about commerce/accounting fields, so I’m unsure whether switching streams is realistic or worth it.

​

I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who were in a similar situation

What career paths did you choose after PCM besides engineering?

Is CA a good option for someone from a non-commerce background?

How difficult is it realistically?

Is the pay/growth worth the effort?

What are some other stable career options I should research?

​

I’m trying to figure out a career path before making a decision, so any genuine guidance would help a lot.
