I'm a student of ipcc. I'll give my ipcc exams in may 2014 (1st attempt). I don't want to restrict myself to just one degree. I want to earn another degree along with CA. i love maths and accounts (and i'm very good at maths :P). my weak point is theory. i cannot mug up things. my question is simple (i hope so ;) ), which is a better option - CA+CS or CA+Mba(finance) or CA+Actuary???
pros and cons of all the three would be helpful...
Dear Pritha,
All the three lines are totally different, with absolutely no relevance to each other…
It is you who has to decide as to which area interests you..whether you want to go for Legal field or finance line or insurance etc??
acturary if u can do its the best. seriously u'll get a very very good package.
Frankly Speaking, If your Theory portion is not good enough don't go for CS then,
If your math and statistics are strong then you should go for Actuary...
16 papers are there in Actuary, However if you are able to clear half of it then also you will have a bright future ahead...
Now in India there are 254 or something like that persons having a degree of Actuary earning huge package...
Best of Luck...
My suggestion to u is....wid d help of ur maths skills get into a mba programme....through CAT XAT CMAT...as per your preference...and simultaneously do ur CA(considering how many months of your articles are over)....CS/CWA etc .....Now a days every tom d**k n harry boosts about his MBA....MBA has become a graduation sought of course....kinda must have....even CA's nowadays take time time out their busy lives in for doing MBA...
Yes there are a huge scope in actuary. Best of Luck for the future
Look at your abilities and likings.
CA CS is good combination if you like working in Accounts Law areas
CA MBA is good if you want to specialise in finance. You can also do Institute's post qualification course in Business Finance. You can also do CFA (US) or CIMA (UK) Exams are held in India.
Go for actuary only if you are very strong in mathematics I mean very strong
Otherwise CA itself is a reqarding career
There are other fields also
Best of luck
