Whoaa.. Financiers.. DT well that is a different ball game all togeher now.. but I would agree with you financiers, investment bankers, brokers (don't even get me started on city brokers here,,)..I get bouts of infreority complex every time I sit with a city broker....
Well, Goodman, does make you think if we are in the wrong profession.. but I guess my answer is no... with the kind of middle class back ground I come from and not having the insight and the finances to got to an ivy league college for that very requisite MBA.. I guess being an accountant was the safest keep. Besides, would it be fun anymore not knowing your debits and credits, materiality, risk assurance, remediation, come on..
Sajjad,.. going in to work for yourself as self employed 'in business' is ofcourse always better and lucrative (as long as it is halal and legal). There is a Hadees to that fact saying that 3/4th of 'rizk' is in business !!
But I guess we are here comparing more of on the lines of profession as a whole.. and say a CA (Pakistan) still comes out with high flying start up salaries.. compared to say a doctor, engineer, banker etc. (within the first couple of years atleast) again as an average.
I would beg to differ on the luck factor,.. you have to have it in you along with opportunites to make it to that level.. you may say Taqdeer has to do a bit with it.. but then don't get me started on that,, a seperate topic all together.
Bottom line is to try to make the most of what and where you are, give it your best and rewards will flow through..
