Feeling Stuck: Should I Keep Preparing for a Government Job or Return to Retail?

Sir, thank you for guiding me. It is true that I left the retail job due to long working hours. I have been preparing for the government job since I started in this role. Please suggest whether I should continue preparing for a government job or consider going back to retail sales as you suggested. I am also concerned that staying in my current role will result in a growing job gap. I am very confused; please advise me on what I should do in this situation.

Your prompt reply is much appreciated.

It is always advisable to continue with the work that satisfies you and meets your needs rather than sitting idle at home. Government job preparation can be done simultaneously along with your present job.
