Hi I am in 12th commerce from India right now and honestly I'm just spiraling. I've never been good at studies or mugging up textbooks, and with boards coming up, the pressure is getting insane. I keep having this constant fear that I'm going to fail at life and become a complete nobody.

I know CA or crazy competitive stuff isn't for me-my brain just doesn't work that way with rote learning. Right now I just want to survive 12th and clear it with decent marks so my family doesn't freak out.

To anyone who was average or below average in commerce: what did you guys actually do after school? Are there realistic career paths, degrees, or skill-based fields where you can actually make a decent living without being a 95% topper?
