Help needed for 18‑yr‑old seeking cloud career

[Tanuja]

* I bombed JEE despite studying hard, feeling pretty low.
* I want to move into cloud computing and land a decent job (around 25k).
* My parents are pushing for a government job, but that's not my thing.
* So I'm thinking of doing a BA from a nearby college as a safety net.
* At the same time I'll be learning cloud computing every day.
* My plan: build skills → work on projects → get a job.
* The degree is just a backup; my real focus is tech.
* Not sure if this is smart or dumb, but that's the plan for now.

Pick a BTech in AI/ML or something similar as a backup instead of a BA.

I won't go into other details, but there's no need to limit yourself to just 25k. Dream big, buddy.

[Vaishali]

Consider doing BCA or even a tier‑3 BE/B.Tech.

[Lavanya]

You can't really break into cloud computing without a degree - IT wagairah will come from that. Also, don't treat this as a solid plan; it's unlikely to work. Go for a BTech, study hard there, that's a more realistic route.

And aiming for just 25k per month is a low bar. A decent job should at least cover living expenses in a metro like Delhi.

If you want a tech career, better options are engineering, BSc or BCA, where you can learn the tech stack while studying. That's a smarter move than just doing a BA.

Go for BTech or BCA, little brother. A BA won't help much if you want to enter tech. In fact, recruiters might overlook you because of that degree.

Failed how? What's your rank? DM me and we'll see.

[Nisha]

BTech is the way to go.

[Meera]

Good call, man. If you're set on cloud computing, the demand is strong. My advice: stay consistent and practice daily - you'll land a good job. Dream big and all the best.

[Subhash]

A BA is a poor career choice - trust me, I regret taking it every day.
