Question: Dear Sir,

I am just a Commerce graduate. I am 38 years old male. I am working with administration department for the past 14 years in one of the leading India's Private banks. But despite my hardwork I have not got promotion and very marginal increase in salary. I am married with two and half year old son.

I really repent very much for not having studied further. I have heavy housing loan burden on me. My present salary is just hand to mouth. I feel very nervous and have no clue as to what to do. I am basically a hard working person.

I humbly request you to guide me. I want to really progress in life.

Answer: To make your progress graph improve it is required in these days to have some professional qualification. As you have already stated that you are in the admin department of your organization, you could think of further doing an MBA through the distance mode from Symbiosis, Pune or IGNOU and specialize in either finance or Human Resources. Or go to an evening/weekend MBA courses done by most of the reputed management schools. It would definitely a little taxing after so many years but where there is a will there is a way. With a professional degree and the experience that you have, you might later think of switching to a better position and a better organization!

Hope that helps.
