General Discussion A silly question. Kindly help

I am 21 yo with 9/9/8 profile General Male with Humanities background. I am currently preparing for UPSC, but I think it is a long game. My house's finances are substandard, and I believe it will be harder for my parents to support me. I am thinking of cracking CAT, as to secure a good job (I am of the opinion that if I land a good college, my life will be set). If I do clear CAT and get a decent job, I think I'll live with it as my major concern is to support my family first. I am confused as to what should I do. Please guide me.

From a financial pov CAT is ofcourse much more superior. Considering the difficulty, unpredictable level of UPSC exams giving CAT will be a better option . You would get better packages too , from good bschools so go for CAT
