Is it too late for an MBA?
So I am 25 years old male and after 12th I had a 2 year gap because of some fuck ups and some family issues. I completed my engineering and have been working since 2 years now. I have not been the brightest student. I am working in a functional role because coding just does not suit me. My English is strong but maths is weak, hence I know MBA prep will take time. My parents are repeatedly telling me to give GMAT as soon as possible as according to them I need to get married by 30. I don’t know what to do. I am working like a machine everyday not able to enjoy life due to constant pressure and tension of the future. Sometimes it feels like what’s the point of earning when you can’t live your life? Due to doing something after you are successful at something, I don’t have many friends, never had a girlfriend and rarely interact with girls. In short - no social life, constant stress, burnt out.

Parental judgement and pressure to 'achieve' milestones by a certain age.
You are just 25. Understand your own personal DNA. Don’t do things because someone does them or wants you to do them, (including your parents). Know who you are and stay true to that identity.
Following your interests/your passions are what sustains you. Trying to fit in or please others may seem easier, but it drains you and leads to burnout long before any real challenges do.
If you are keen on an MBA or any field of education, it is never too late to start. Remember that always. Best wishes for your journey forward mate🥂
