7 years agoPG Degree is the best and rational choice for you. I don't mean to discourage you but see that you are at 30 and a degree of PG will strengthen your career efforts. Whole doing PG, you can keep your preparation for UPSC on. But I shall not put your UPSC aspirations first over Higher Studies.
