Is the 'all-in' mentality for government exams actually ruining careers? We see so many graduates, like those with ECE degrees, spending years chasing UPSC or Sub-Inspector roles without any backup plan, only to find themselves jobless and uninterested in private sector staples like coding. While the dream of public service is noble, the reality of 'exam-only' preparation is a gamble that often leads to low self-confidence and a massive gap in the resume. Even for those currently working, like teachers balancing a full-time job with preparations for school assistant exams, the pressure is immense. We need to stop glamorizing the struggle and start prioritizing financial stability and realistic career paths. Diversifying your skills and being open to entry-level roles isn't a failure; it’s a strategy for long-term survival in a competitive market. #career #education #economy
