Okay Enough is enough......when?

Okay guys lets face it. Attempt after attempt after attempt…..

For how long should one allow this to go on? Should one stop somewhere..? Should there be an upper limit to patience?

My personal opinion is that CA is great qualification to have, best in class for audit, very competitive for finance, opens a lot of doors; all fine but what I always think is that CA or for that matter any other qualification is not an end, it is a means to an end. The end is what you want to achieve over a longer term in your life.  

So what is your take on when to pull the plug (if at all) ...?

Disclaimer:  I want to put an important disclaimer that I do not wish to encourage anyone for quitting CA and I wish you all, the very best that you would not have to face this situation ever. I do not doubt the integrity and fairness of the CA exams but then any exams system has pros and cons and what if you have constantly been unsuccessful in getting through.
