Your query is very genuine, Ali.
Firstly, i'd like to advise you on the field issue. If you want to move in IT field and have passion of it then my advise is that just don't do ACCA. Do FSc. and then move towards IT degrees and excel in that. You'll be much more satisfied in your own field (IT) than in a stranger field (Accounts). Just excel in IT field and opportunities will be endless. However, since you have done CAT so you will be very much familiar with various branches of this field. If you think that accountancy will be the field you'd like to establish your career in then you can get continue ACCA + doing some short IT courses.
But still if you are in ACCA just because some one around you suggested that its good because of early career start and good salaries then just don't fall for this. You'd always regret why you did not move towards IT field (just like I'm regretting why I'm not a space scientist which I wanted to be right from my childhood and also after securing A+ and A grades in matric and Fsc. [D])
Secondly, you can still do ACCA without doing Fsc. My one friend who is an ACCA affiliate now started CAT after matric. So its not an issue. You can improve your english from various other means. Goodbye Mr. Chips won't improve your english much [D]. Try to speak english with your friends and watch english news channels. That will do it.
