Greatest Dilemma Ever...!!

this is for all those who land in this very particular situation....
as soon as my final exams at my school came to an end, I received a circular from my school requesting me to choose a stream to specialize and submit it the very next day. since I had been a child, I had always dreamt of becoming an engineer, especially in the electronics field. many a times have i heard that one should do what h eloves most and is food at most. but neither did i hate commerce nor did i love engineering. i was at the intersection. but on that day, everything turned up-side-down. i had to choose between Science, commerce & arts. I was least interested in arts, so arts was cancelled. so now i had to choose between science and commerce. I have many relatives and cousins who have taken up science and become doctors adn engineers. but very few had opted for commerce. the reason being that it was only for average or medicore students. that day i stayed awake uptill 2 in the midnight and finally decided after hours and hours of consultation with my parents and my uncles. and my final decission was to opt commerce so as to become a Chartered Accountant and study ACCA at UK.
i had and still have a number of reasons for taking that step. They are :

1- the commerce stream is somewhat a 'road not taken.' many few people take the commerce stream.
2- it is too a chalenging field.
3- all those people who I have heard of and have opted commerce have reached great heights in their careers in comparison to those who have opted for engineering.
4- in any organisation, the head of the management is always a commerce student.
5- in any organisation, everyone respects the managers the most(including engineers). its because they are on the top.

So because of these reasons and many others i opted for the commerce stream and by far have been successful in it....

I am just chasing my dream which's to become a CA.

so, all those who face this same situation, just listen to your heart and do what you feel is the best.

Where can you study ACCA?

This is a very common question that comes into a person's mind when he's at the stage of deciding where to study ACCA. This was the first question that had struck my mind. I couldn't decide, at first, where to study it. The main reason is finance. If you are financially sound, I would propose you to do it in UK itself. It is because, in UK, you get the right environment, not just for studying, but also for improving yourself in matters like discipline, language, fluency, etc. But for those who would find financing a little bit difficult, you are free to study anywhere.

Most of us don't know that almost every country has an ACCA centre. Even I didn't know that when I was facing this dilemma.

The best site, in my opinion, to know more about ACCA and its locations is:

www.accaglobal.com

This is the main body for ACCA. You can find all that you need right here.There's a page in it that helps you to find a study centre for ACCA in any corner of the world.
