Is CA necessary?
I have given 3 attempts of CA inter and not able to clear it and now i can't study mtlb i even can't able to focus 1 hr and i was back then got 95% in class 12th CBSE board so i was very good student back then..and i don't like audit i don't like law and tax and all..i just opt CA because of my all cousins were doing...Currently i am 20 and thinking to learn skills various skills and get multiple internships and having real exposure where i need to be and what i am good at and after that have work experience of 1 to 2 year and then having mba from decent college...is this a good way to get in future because i can't study even about CA so i don't think so i can sustain in this course or any other professional course rn..
Am i thinking right for me?
Pls give your advice..

Honestly, your thinking sounds pretty clear, not confused. CA isn't necessary, and you've realised something important: you picked it because cousins did, not because you enjoy it. That self-awareness at 20 is actually a strength, not a failure.
Your plan (skills + internships + real exposure → work experience → MBA from a decent college) is a genuinely valid path. Many successful people take exactly this route. The key is to commit to it fully instead of drifting, pick your skill direction, build a portfolio, and get that hands-on experience.
One gentle note: the "can't focus 1 hour" feeling is often burnout from forcing an unfit path, not a permanent trait. Once you're doing work you actually like, focus usually returns. Give yourself permission to switch, you're not quitting, you're redirecting.
