I’m an Indian 23 male. Presently working as an office boy in Abu Dhabi, UAE. As everybody I too had a lot of expectation about my life. I was a very good boy in my school days. I could pass my SSLC (10’Th) exam in a first class mark. But by many a reason I couldn’t perform in my +2 (12’Th) class. After my +2 I had a 2 to 3year’s break in my education. During that period I went in 2 an institute where I could learn Photography & Photoshop. Though I went 2 learn Photography I seemed 2 have interested in Photoshop. This is my problem (irresolute mind) that I would like 2 discuss with U. But by that I could be an accomplished Photo designer with short cut keys (a good speed). I don’t know what I lacked 2 not continue in the field. Then for a while I joined in an institute 2 learn X-Ray welding. Though I finished the course I didn’t even asked for my certificate by the reason some one told me that I would not be able 2 get a related job in Gulf countries with out a minimum experience of 5 to 10 years. I didn’t even enquire whether it was true or not. This is my problem (irresolute mind) that I would like 2 discuss with U.
Within this time my mind longed too much 2 get higher education. Then after 3 years I went in 2 my +2 school 2 buy my Transfer certificate & related papers!! I started 2 study again for BA English Degree course. I wrote my 1’st year exam well & yet the result published. Soon I wrote the exam I saw the advertisement that my company (supplying office boys) published in a news paper. By my lack of looking before leap I fell in their sub contracting trap 2 a very small salary. Now I understand something that caused me 2 fail in my life ambitions. But yet I couldn’t get a clear picture. This is my problem (irresolute mind) that I would like 2 discuss with U.
But U can’t blame me for all this completely. Because for all this impatiently moving, I had a reason that due 2 the bad debits that my family has in various banks. We have 2 make huge money for the interest itself every year. So I wished 2 overcome all this problems all of a sudden by getting a job abroad. Any way now I learned a lesson that we can’t make money with out a good profession or well education. So now I wish 2 try once more in those fields. Now I have decided 2 leave my family in a crisis by selling our home instead of bearing those bad debits & interests (only for a small period-after I got a good job can’t I replant them 2 an own house from a rent house?) Here is I need Ur helps 2 lead me in 2 light.
What I need 2 study now? Should I continue my BA? 2 tell U frankly now I have interest in neither education nor Photography & Photoshop but in computers.
Before U answer me 2 the question that “can I become a software engineer or even a computer operator”? U may need 2 know my stand in computers. I came 2 know about computers during my Photographical studies. Then itself I had too much interest in short cut keys. If so now I have a good speed 2 do any kind of program even without mouse. I mean that even though I see a program that I haven’t seen in my life before soon I will be able 2 understand this is this & that. By this interest itself I could learn a lot of short cut keys as well as Commands. Now what I’m telling U that I am able 2 operate a system & all the common programs like MS office, excel, etc without a mouse. I clearly know that these things only are not a qualification 2 be a software engineer. Then what I’m asking U that “do U believe I’m able 2 be an s/ware eng? If so what should I do? Or do U see any other field suitable for me? Or should I continue the job that I’m in now & try 2 solve the bank debits with this small salary & help my parents 2 not desert in 2 a rent house? Hurry pls advise me, I don’t know any thing what I should do

Sounds to me that you envision yourself as a professional student. You have the background in many areas that would lead you to wealth. Either you are playing games with yourself or you just totally lack self-esteem. Which is it? You label yourself as Truth Teller, but honestly I detect a LIAR!

If you're going to take another subject, may I suggest it be basic and advanced English. From there you may want to take English Literature. If you have taken it before, then it may help you immensely when you take it again, seeing as you proclaim to have mastered all of your other subjects.

And as for helping your parents, you need to help yourself first. Besides, did they even ask you for your help? I doubt it.

Let me understand. You went to school for various things: photography, welding, etc. and either didn’t finish or didn’t bother getting your certificate.

Now you are working in Dubai as an office boy, whatever that is, and you want to know what career to follow and whether to leave y our family to shoulder the debt alone.

Well, there are a few ways to look at this. Your first priority should always be your family. However, if you were to get a better education or a better job, than you could turn around and help your family better.

You seem to get bored in school and don’t really have a passion. You have interests, but no real passion for anything. If you had passion, you would have finished school.

Here is a game plan.

1. Get your welding certificate from the training you attended. Maybe your chances of getting a welding job are slim, but you’ll have it ready if an opportunity comes along.
2. Improve your English writing skills. You need to work on being comprehensible in English.
3. Talk to people who are slightly older than you and are being successful. Don’t rely on advice from people your own age or from older people who are still struggling a lot. They don’t have the experience you are looking for. And don’t ask strangers on the web for life changing advice.
4. Don’t think TOO big all at once. Right now you are an office boy-what’s a step up financially or career wise from that? Who do you know that has that position? How did they get it? Than you move up again.
5. If you are interested in photography or computers, spend your spare time learning all you can about them and tinkering with them. Cultivate friendships with others who have hobbies in similar areas.
6. Read, read, read, read, read, read. Read newspapers, books on different areas of the world, encyclopedias, cookbooks, etc. You never know when the information will come in handy.


Good Luck!

I'm sorry i didn't read it all but why are you asking a bunch of strangers how to continue on in life. You seem old enough to make up your mind

This is what happens when you go to too much school. Start sending out your resume..
