First of all i apreciate your passion. nothing is impossible. there is no age limit for learning. Dont be negetive, be positive you can do it. But i dont think you cant do it while working. While undergoing 3 years articleship training your working hours shall not clash with your company's you are presently working.

I dnt think it will be good for u to change ur profession when u r frm a different field.... And c.a. is the most diificult course in commerce stream.. So according to me u shall not try to walk in two diff paths. Yes if u want to do c.a. Seriouslly, then u will have to leave ur engineering and completly concntrte on c.a. Only......
