All my beloved fellows who are of the view that CA is still an attractive degree and it is not losing its charm in pakistan, are right in one aspect. Definitely a person who is qualified CA and has a good reference can have a brilliant career prospects. But this provides no edge to the field of CA as compared to other fields, because in any field if you are qualified and has good reference you can have good career prospects. The basic point which differentiate and provides distinction to one profession on another is its capacity to accommodate the person who has no reference i.e. just on the basis of personal skills and knowledge, which is atleast not true in case of CA nowadays in pakistan, no doubt it was so in the past. From the stage of achieving placement for articleship in some reputed firm to the stage of getting job, every step requires good and strong reference and a person who denies this fact is definitely living in the fools' paradise because reality is reality and honey-coated positive statements could not change the reality, but they just could keep someone in dark. So i strongly request those who are in the habit of showing optimist views just for the purpose of encouraging others, that please don't do this. Because in their view, they are doing a good job by encouraging others to remain positive about their future but in reality they are playing with the emotions of others. Please tell others reality. And reality is this that CA has lost its charm in pakistan. A large number of students are siting idle after ca inter having no training opportunity. This clearly shows that ICAP is passing students blindly without having any regard for demand and supply. So it is my sincere advice to all readers of this post that they should not mis-guide new entrants into CA by saying that CA is very attractive field. Rather they should tell them reality that if someone has no good reference then CA is just a wastage of time for him. I know that all of you will think that i am an unlucky student who has not got any articleship opportunity due to lack of reference. But i would like to tell all of you that this is wrong. I have sufficiently strong reference to enter into any good firm and also have good educational record. I have taken 2 papers of Module D in this attempt and i am sure to pass them inshallah and after this there would be no problem for getting internship for me. The purpose of saying all this is this that i am not holding my this point of view due to personal reasons. I just want to spread reality so that every one who enters in the field of CA should know reality so that no one fall in extreme disappointment when the stage of articleship comes.(I am quite sure that most of people would not try to understand what i had tried to say in my post. rather most of them will start to defend their own point of view and criticise this post harshly. But it makes no difference. reality never changes by just denying it. ) Regards.
