I want money, respect and social status through my job. So,keeping all these requirements in mind what should I pursue after class 12th?

I am kind of confused whether to prepare for BMS or go ahead with CA or CS. IAS also seems to be a good option to me. Moreover, I am also considering law as a profession. It's really confusing as I want to take best decision about my career. Could you please guide me by enlisting pros, cons, working conditions and most prominantly, remuneration of each of the above mentioned options.

Hello

Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. Whatever you aspire could be possible with a career or a profession but with only a job. I often tell people there is a huge difference between a career and a job. A career is termed as professional and personal advancement added with social status and high earning opportunities. Where in a job, doesn't give each of the above said aspects. Therefore I advice you to choose a career wisely.

You tend to have thought well on how your life needs to be in future. For this, you have also constructed a map of relative careers. To be honest, any career will give you respect and social status. But it depends how the individual grows along with the profession. For example, not all people in law can be popular. There are very few who get to be popular because they are dedicated to their profession. Like wise, there are many reputable professions that doesn't suit everyone. One can get success in a profession only when the profession personally suits you. For this it is necessary to understand what type of personality you have and what type of profession suits you. Therefore please spare a few minutes on the psychometric assessment from this website. Taking the test you will understand what type of personality you have and the possible careers in that route.

Apart from this, I can give you some idea on reputable professions you can carry out.

If you are from a Commerce group in 12th, you may take the following options

Bcom---> Mcom--->ICWAI---> CA
BCom---> MCom---> CS
BCom--->MCom--->CFA
BCom--->MCom---> MFM

If you are from a Computer science group in 12th level,
BSc CS ---> MSc CS --->PhD CS
BSc IT ----> MSc IT ---> PhD IT
BE CSC ---> ME CS ---> PhD CS
BTech CS ---> MTech CS ---> PhD CS
BTech IT ---> MTech IT ----> PhD IT
And if you want a professional career in medicine: MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPharm and Physiotherapy are possible options.
If you choose to do Engineering then you can pursue the same path as BTech ---> MTech ---> PhD. If you choose Arts, you can similarly choose to do BSc ---> MSc ----> PhD. However you can also get into law or IAS professions but all this will require you to have a basic Bachelors degree in any subject you like.
