people of the gupshup world
tell me what to do

im in my final yr of computing degree and i dno what to do when i finish

I got a few options

  1. Work with my dad in the computer shop
    and try and drive it somewhere - problem is dad’s old fashioned in what he does. and i’d have a very low basic salary. and i end up workin 6 days a week, round the clock

  2. do an MSC - problem is im a little bored of studying

  3. set up my own business - problem isnt finance, problem is dont got a team, and no real business concept\plan. but i enjoy the freedom and i got good leadership skills

  4. go and find a job in IT support - problem is bit bored of IT support and not much career progression prospects but fairly easy to find IT support job

  5. find a computer programming type Job - problem is i cant program to save my life, and not sure how dad would deal with me workin for someone else rather than him. but the money can be quite good and good steady income. and i only gotta work 5 days a week and work stays at work

Kya karoon ?
doob maroon ?

When you say - Dad's computer shop, I am not sure what this means?

Is he a re-seller - pushing discount computers & peripherals?

Or,

Is he into network integration & service support?

If it is the latter - then based on what you outlined, could be the option until you get things sorted out and get your juices flowing again.

If it is the former, then, best off getting a co-op job in Computer industry thru your University Career & Co-op services.

** Note: **
This is my opinion. Final decision should always be yours.
