What path should I take after School?

I'm confused between these 2. As BBA is already flooded by job seekers and B.Com most probably will be very tough for me. As a student of Commerce for which degree should I go for? You can also advice me something other than these two. Not to mention, I did not took Mathematics in 11th and 12th so, the door of B.Honours are clossed.

And if you are a professional, it will be great and I will be very thankful to you if you let me know how your daily life looks like in the profession and what tasks you've to do.

Yelena’s Answer

Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. If the only reason you’re avoiding B.Com is because you didn’t take Math, I wouldn’t let that stop you.

Not every commerce career requires strong math skills. For example, tax is more about understanding laws, rules, and details than solving complex equations. Many successful tax professionals are valued for their analytical thinking and attention to detail, not their math ability.

Sunny’s Answer

Even if you don't have a strong math background from high school, you can still easily pursue a general B.Com. It focuses on simple math and clear accounting rules, which are perfect for steady roles in finance and taxation. If you're more interested in lively, people-oriented careers, a BBA is a great choice. Although there are many BBA graduates, you can stand out by getting internships early on. If neither of these paths interests you, there are other exciting options like Mass Communication, Digital Marketing, or tech-related fields like a BCA. These areas offer great career opportunities without needing advanced math skills.

Marchonie’s Answer

Hi Veer,
It's great that you're eager to gather information to make smart choices! As a Commerce student, you have valuable skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and business judgment. These skills are useful in many fields. I think the next step you should consider is to think about what kind of work excites you. Jobs that are people-focused, creative, operational, analytical, or mission-driven could be great options. Roles in marketing, human resources, recruiting, sales, customer success, operations, project coordination, communications, and nonprofit roles could be a possible fit for you.
Try to imagine what you want your daily work life to be like. Do you like working with people, solving problems, organizing projects, creating content, or helping teams improve? That answer can point you toward the right path so you can figure out next steps regarding skill building. Hope that helps!

Marchonie recommends the following next steps:

Look at entry-level job postings in 2–3 areas that interest you and see which skills show up repeatedly
Build those skills through internships, campus clubs, volunteer work, short courses, or certifications
