Answer: The communication is not very clear.

What I can make out is that you have put your feet in to two boats. Put them in to one. You have done well in IT and that is perhaps your natural strength. Encash that. Yes jobs in IT are scarce, but the sector will open. Bio Tech is the new word worldwide. Keep an eye on that sector.

In my opinion, we humans run for / crave for things that are naturally difficult for us to reach. In this effort, we forget our natural strengths and undervalue our strengths and the things that have come our way easily.

Take a relook: You are good at IT . So that is your strength. Recognize that strength and build on it. Let other paths be dreams. Do not look back. World is not perfect at all, yet so beautiful. Enjoy it for Lord sent you on earth for that.

Your counsel.
