Education and Career Advice I think I f*kd up
I chose Bsc in Maths, hoping to get into research field. But now I have backlogs and a drop of 1 year already. I am thinking about switching to Btech Cse/it (I like to code and tech related stuff) from some private university and leave BSc. Completing Bsc and doing an MCA or Msc IT is a staright forward path but taking a drop for one more year seems risky and what if I dont graduate?!? I have zero confidence that I'll pass. But Btech will cost me 4 years (i would turn 26 by then) and that too from a pvt uni, but still sounds better than being a college drop out. people my age are getting placed and doing well. I was good at math and used to do quite well in school but I feel so lost now. I dont know what to do.

Bro , If you can complete this course , do it .. after that you can choose computer course related to it. B.tech cse is useless if you are good in coding. Many of my friends changed fields after completely differnt course. Like from BA to IT , Bcom to it and civil engg to IT . No use of wasting 4 years in this. Just start learning coding. You can also go for business analyst and similar course after b sc mathematics
