Brother DxB.Raf,
(Sorry everybody if im interrupting the thread)A few months back i asked you about CA programs in Canada. You gave me some very helpful advice. But (since im in A'levels) i've had a change in my career-plan (I want to go for an undergrad degree, then MSc finance/Mba-finance and then CFA Program) . I've decided to pursue my career in the finance industry (working as a financial analyst or going into investment banking). When im done with my a'levels i'll be going abroad. I need your advice please in
1. Do you have any idea which country has the best finance-schools? im leaning towards Canada, but im still open to suggestions.
2. At my undergrad level, should i major in Finance or accounting at this level? I'd like to work in canada after graduation for a few years (you get a 3 year work=permit) then go for the Masters Degree. Which do you think would be more employable? I've read in few forums that finance grads face alot of difficulty in getting jobs.
Please help me out, i really feel screwed-up right now! )
Oh and btw, if anyone doesn't mind me asking, WHAT IS HE POINT OF DOING CFA after CA/ACCA?. CFA is a finance designation, where as acca/ca as you all know are accounting. CFA is kinda useless if your want to work in the accounting field i think.
