well if you are good in Accounting you have got chance to do CA\Acca\ICWA\CIMA you need to make your mind that what type of job you will be interested in future. and plan accordingly..
CA of ICAP is the toughest degee in pakistan.... they are auditors, tax consultants, Manangers etc..

If you are at accounting then do CA or ACCA. If you good at economics then do B.SC in econonmics from university of London.

where i know CFA(chartered financial analyst) it leads to becoming a financial analyst. Its all about investment banking you will be studing Finance and Investment banking some cources of Quanaitative methods but emphasizing upon financial institutions and markets..
i suggest u to read some investment banking and finance book you will get some idea, will give u some direction

Salam,
hmm,interesting!!
U took 5 subjects for ur A levels! Must be a hardworking guy!!
What type of combination is it MATHS,A/C,URDU,ECO & PHY??
Well it is clear that u don't know wht u want to be.Don't worry it's not too late for u to figure out ur future.Just think which r the subjects that amaze u the most or which u find interesting.
After u have done that then start searching for the courses & qualifications available for that particular subject,discuss it with ur parents,seniors etc.
Hopefully u r getting what i am trying to say! [D]
Regards.

Asalaam,
As Far as I know, you must hold a Honours degree in order to get admitted in CFA.
You better go for ACCA. Dosent matter how much you score previously.
Start new course ACCA, CA etc..... With full Potential, Devotion and Determination.
Thanks.
