hello madiha.....well confused!!!!!!it happens with everybody.....happened with me too [)]......MBA no doubt is demanding but only some institutes like LUMS n IBA....NUST OFFER A SCOPE 4 MBA...... demanding now a days as far as i think.......madiha if u really want to achieve something different something challenging u must opt for ACCA i would say......as far as MBA is concerned u can have an MBA degree from oxford brookes university......as ACCA QUALIFICATION supports it nd also BSC.HONORS degree 2.......
well madiha......its up to u now to choose ur field coz do ur decisions ur self......so that u can feel satisfied.......do ask for guidance but i would advice u to make ur decisions ur self.......nd for further information about ACCA U CAN GO TO <b>WWW.ACCAGLOBAL.COM.</b>
GOOD LUCK 4 UR BRIGHT FUTURE......

hello madiha, well MBA has lose his scope,but there are institute like, (IBA, Lums) which provide security about job, bcoz to their well reputation(institute), u asked to choose b/t MBA or ACCA, why not others (C.A, ICMA,), as such its ur personal decision. ACCA has good Scope, ACCA is little bit expensive, there are others degrees too(PIPFA,Msc Accounting Finance) this is only for ur information, as to ur desire i recomend u to do ACCA,
its only ur choice, chose that feild in which ur interest, bcoz without interest u can't concentrate well
good luck for ur bright future
for more detail u shall asked me question abt others feild too
bye

Dear Madiha
Some of my students specially females doing ACCA and CA found the field difficult because not only it is tuff but you have to work 3 years to put ACCA in front of your name. beside that females doing articles get limited scope as compare to males because of late sittings and visiting factories etc in remote areas (sometimes outside city for number of days). Anyway a good person with MBA degree is getting same salary as fresh ACCA specially in Banking Sector.
If you need any further counselling u can ask for same.
Thank you

Dear Madhia
There is no doubt about ACCA Scope but market is very saturated now, every single person is ACCA now and you won't get anything during your 3 years training in chartered firm.
Am ACCA and currently working in London. I found too many ACCA here so difficult to get to compete and get better job. Therefore I decided to do ICAEW inorder to differentiate myself.
I recommend you to do Ca which has better scope.

No field is worthless or inferior. Choice of field should base on your own aspiration, employment (Job) market, and feasibility of work envirnoment- as in Pakistan every profession is not fit for girls. However, an other factor is number of job opportunities, which leads to the career security. MBA has more job opportunity than any other fields. So any MBA graduate will have atleast a job. If he/she shows work performance he'll be at some reasonable level of authority in the organization.
