Dear all,

First of all I would like to convey my greetings to everyone in this awsome club. I need your expert advice as I am undecided and at a fix in a critical juncture in my life. I have been in customer service industry since last 7 years. I am an Arts graduate. I am 35 years old now. I am very disturbed inside because I have not been able to do build a good career in my life. Recently I have been very much interested to pursure the CA course which not only attracts me emotionally but I have always found myself feeling good in accounts and accounts related work. My million dollar question to you all is: Is it wise for me to take up CPT at the age of 35, keeping in mind the job prospect at near 40ish age, and study while doing job? Will it be acceptable in industry or it might give a negative notion in the mind of employers? It will be a very big decision of my life once I commit to CA study taking into consideration the effort and perseverence required to reach its end.

Please do not hesitate to advice whatever you all might feel or think about my situation because all I seek is a future eyesight which I am sure you all here do possess being in this profession.

Thanks and regards,

Arijit
