Engineering vs Accounting - cybermoj - 07-26-2009
Assalam-o-Alaikum
1) My name is Osama and I completed my FSc this year from "Saudi Arabia" (federal board islamabad overseas) with pre engineering group. I want to go into accounting and finance but my family is not willing to send me as they say that there arent a lot of jobs for degrees like ACCA.Could you please tell me if this is true?
2) My ultimate goal is to become an ACA member. Therefore i was thinking about doing ACCA (after CAT) from Pakistan and then going for ACA. I am completely new to accounting and finance and I have no idea as to what to do and from where to go into ACA.
3) What is the average position (pay wise) if i only do ACCA?
I have a lot of other questions.. I am a complete newbie in this field and dont even know the terminology... so please help me!!
Thank you very much!
