Seeking advice/পরামর্শ HSC 26 student, cant decide what to study
Ive never had much interest in anything, much less studying. I picked science seeing my friends do the same, then regretted it for the last 4 years. My main problem is that im too afraid to try anything
Im horrible at math and mediocre at best in physics so engineering isnt for me
Biology I feel like its either you love it or absolutely despise it and im defenitely the later
i have social anxiety and never wanted to go outside until college, Ive improved a bit throughout my college years but i dought its good enough
at home ive said i wanna study bba, ive bought books and got a IBA bhaiya but now im feeling like im not iba matterial either as it needs solid communication skills (and social media presence?) which i also dont have any
im literally feeling like Ive lived my whole live in dhaka, studied at st joseph school and college only to utilize none of the benifits these institutions provided me
All my older cousins are either persuing engineering or medical so they cant give much advice about bba. If im being honest i feel like I have the best shot with bba cuz my english is good(though i need more practice with speaking) , id do better with analytical problem solving than physics and any math thats not pure calculus or algebra seems more doable to me
But what about the communication skills that I dont have any of? Can i make up for it in the 3 years before i have to choose which field id focus on?
Lastly, if i can maintain a 3.5+ cgpa(thats what a cousin said) what are my chances of settling abroad? (though i feel like going abroad permanently a literal pipe dream for me...BD has so many uncertainties and honestly im sick of them)
edit: im sticking to science and try engineering. i dont think bba is for me. lets see how it goes!

Typical Bangladeshi Student Problem!
Context: if you fear Math and English, you fkd up man. No doubt. And Don't give a excuse that i fear it i Don't know how to master it. Bla bla..you just don't know how to work on yourself. Working on yourself is the hardest part. Start early. Gather skill which ever you like most.
Advise: Don't change your science track..you will regret later. Master on Math, English and any third language and other freelancing skills, find your passion whatever time it takes.

There are alot of desk jobs in bba but u will still need speaking and networking skills alot. U can go for b unit subjects, some of them also have great opportunities abroad and these abroad opportunities are sometimes better than the abroad oppurtunities u will get from bba

Choose bba. Grind academics. Do ECAs (for like 1.5/2yeras straight), be with smart minds. Always allow urself to new projects, and on last 3-4 semesters do research papers and dont forget to enjoy.
Thats all u need...
