    Career advice
    Okay so,I'm a 21yr old Indian; I have done my engineering in computer science and I realised a little too late that it is definitely not my thing.So I need some help and guidance as to what I could possibly pursue because I'm very confused at the moment.I have great communication and socializing skills,my english isn't all that bad either.But I'm not exactly sure which path that would help in,in terms of career or what course I need to pursue to put good use to my skills and enhancing it as well.I would really appreciate a response and willing to answer any questions on uour part for better understanding of my situation.Thanks :)

    If you can afford more school, would an MBA sound good to you? Jobs in the computer industry should be solid if you have one.
    You don't say what interests you. Sociology, anthropology, geology, botany, anything?
    If salary isn't your main concern, how about teaching?
    If you don't mind risk, how about starting your own computer consulting business?

    Teaching does sound good and so does an MBA,but don't most MBA's ask for work experience of about a year or two? What kind of jobs do I need to get into for something valid for the MBA course if the software jobs u mentioned above ,isn't related to this? As far as Interests go, I do like biology, history and literature.

    So you can afford to go to grad school... the field of biology would love someone with a computer degree. All the species affected by global warming, studying them requires lots of computer assistance out in the fields, jungles, oceans, mountains. You could specialize in one area, such as marine biology with good computer knowledge of the equipment. Biologists often have to troubleshoot equipment out in the middle of nowhere. There's even a small chance you could get work on an expedition before grad school, even if it's without pay, and then go to school.

    Perhaps sales in the computer field.
