Hi all,

I am swetha, am a post graduate in Commerce and working in a company (9am to 7 pm)

Further, I cleared CA foundation long back but was unable to continue with the further CA course, though i completed my M.COM and now doing Job.

Now , I want to do CA again . But i am aged 31 , So I have many questions in my mind.

I would appreciate FRANK and FACTUAL replies from all you respected people.

My questions are:

1) I cleared CA Foundation in 1994. So am i eligible with the same membership number. Or else I have to enroll altogether for new membership. If so, WIll the institute permit me to do so.

2) At the age 31, Though i have very good will power, Will you advise me to go ahead .Though my hubby is quite supportive in this regard.

3) How many hours i need to spare everyday , after going and coming from job.

4) Can u please refer any such people who have started at later age for chartered accountancy.

5) Is their any course better than CA for finance people. I am already M.COM.

6) Within how many attempts do i need to clear CA inter or final under the new schemes.

I will be eagerly waiting REPLIES from all you members

And I wish God Bless all the people who reply me frankly ( right or wrong whatever)

Regards

Swetha

Swetha i would say go for it.. u can find lot of stories of ppl who have done CA at the early 30ss in this forum if u surf thru.....All the best

Don't hesitate. Step in.

Prefer to go for tuition classes.

My best wishes.

You should go ahead.

CA no doubt is a good course, but i doubt whether it is the best course for finance people.

There are better courses in finance, especially if you want to make a career into non - accounting/auditing/taxation. To go in those areas, i believe that there are better courses.

The CA course focuses on Accounting, Auditing and taxation only. ther areas although are covered in the course, they dont make a person quite competent at freshers level to do non accounting/auditing/taxation jobs. 

However, CA is always a bright idea. You are married and working, so you need to remember that you have to complete the CA articleship as well and that would be one of the challenges as you would also need to clear the PCC exam along with articleship.

If you are determined, you have strong will power than you can do anything and achieve anything.

"The will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for it comes from God. A pure and strong will is omnipotent" - Swami Vivekananda.

Wishing you good luck.

hi ... dont worry ... you can do it ... belive in yourself .... plan it ... no one need to advise you as to how to study  ... ask your self you will get the answer ... go with your heart ... what ever it say ...

Dont Worry. visit icai.org

Conact ICAI..they will surely help u.

Swetha, you'll have to yourself decide whether you'll be able to devote time for studies. Though this is a good course, you'll also have to take up articleship later to complete the course. I would suggest you to go through all the factors viz. mental, economical also.... Rest teh decision is upto you.

However, you can also pursue MBA through distant learning whcih will considerably enhance your value in the job market...
