Suggestions regarding a decision made
I am a student from india and i need some opinions on what i did was foolishness or a good thing. I am in my final semester of my masters where i do not have class and have to do a project. Since i do not have class i will always be at home. Instead of sitting idle i thought i may go to work. So i attended an interview for a bpo(which is different from my field of study) and got selected and was all set to join. My mother and my sister were againist me joining as i had to work 6 days a week and also the pay was comparitively very less. I still went ahead no joining and went to my college to get my certificates for submission. When my teachers heard this, they were againist it as well. I did wanted to earn some money but after hearing all this i backed out. Was it the right thing to do?

This is one of those questions were it is hard for us to tell you whether you made the right decision. Reason I say this is Weoal different, I understand you need in your desire to have some money in your pocket while you're finishing your masters project. On the other hand many of us can easily be distracted by the money were earning and never finish ourMasters project.
I believe this is where the professors were coming from when they told you not to do this. Your friends and family may have been looking or seeing the same things as the professors and also had your best interest at heart. What it all comes down to is the fact that you were now own adult responsible for everything you do. You can ask forr and listen to advice of others but in the end you are the one that has to make and live with the final decision.
If it helps at all the decision you've come to is the same one I would've had made. Your education and your masters degree or in the end going to bring you more money than the job you were interested in taking. working six days a week would leave little or no time to complete your masters project. There's an old saying road to the poorhouse is paved with good intentions.
I don't know you but I do know myself and what I know is this; if I was working six days a week the last thing I would want to do on the seventh day is sit down and work on a masters project. So in essence my best intentions would be laid aside and my masters project probably would not get done. If this sounds like you then you made the right decision.

Hello!
Having worked in the BPO sector,I know where you are coming from.The BPO sector lures youngsters like you with minimum qualification such as 10th and 12th grade for jobs and pay decently.
Since you are still studying,I understand extra money is always a bonus.
But right now your focus should be on learning. Since the chances of learning anything solid in a BPO Sector is hard to come by, you need to focus on finishing your studies and finding a job where u get to learn rather than making money.
If with experience and the knowledge that you gain,money will automatically come to u.
I'm hoping that the reason behind your family reaction is the same as my thoughts here.
Anyways it's a good thing you backed out.
Compete yout education and find a job that has great learning potential.
With experience and knowledge,money comes in automatically.
Best wishes.
