Hi All,

I have just registered with the CA Club and hope you all can provide me some guidance. I am a B.Com graduate and was a college topper. However, I had to take up jobs that are not really related to accountancy due to financial issues. I am now married and have a 2 year old kid. Is it too late for me to now think of acquiring further qualififications related to accounts and build a career in this field? I still need to continue working, So with the limited amount of time I have (I can spare 2-3 hours a day for studies), which course do you suggest to me?

Regards

Raga

Hello. As you have given the circumstances, there are still lots of options for you. You can go for MBA finance. You can do it very easily if you are able to draw 2-3 hours for study. Other then this Accounting technician course of ICAI is also can be a good option for you. Even if you start CA and give 2-3 hours daily for study, you can be a semi qualified very easily which will be almost equal to an M com person in case of jobs. And if you are semiqualified, then with some more efforts you can go for CA final also. But it will be matter of long term with articleship. The best opinion I can give to u as per my understanding is that you should join CA as well as MBA both, because the study is almost same. And the line in which you get success first, you just proceed further. All the circumstances as you are considering will lapse with time. These are the thought until you decide for something. Just fill up forms and start study. Ways will open automatically for you. I wish you all the best for your bright future.

as far as learning is concerned there there is no time limit.

the more important is how confident and eagar and dedicated u are for the acquring the course.

jus go ahead.

there are people who think a lot before starting. and there are people who think alot after staring the things.

rather tha asking others. ask urself and jus go for it what ur heart and brain tell u.

If you have the desire and the financial means, feel free to join the study. It would help if you decided what level of knowledge you can handle for yourself. I had long doubts about whether to continue the study and when I got in, everything spun by itself. And my doubts and fears disappeared somewhere. But after graduation, I was able to experience the feeling of graduation again. Dressed in a tuxedo rented from the gentleman's guru platform, it was as if I were back in the walls of my college. My father had always motivated me with examples of older people entering college.
